“Life is original, everything else is copy”
André, 19, lives in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and works as a photocopier operator. He likes to see his neighbor Sílvia with a pair of binoculars. She works selling clothes. Becoming attracted to her, he tries to get nearer, and goes to her shop to buy something, but finds out that he can't afford it. So he puts the photocopier to other uses, and begins to envisage fishy schemes to earn some money.
A tender, slightly awkward coming-of-age story set in Brazil. It captures the quiet desperation and hopeful yearning of a young man trying to bridge the gap between his reality and his desires, all with a gentle, observational touch.
