Durval Discos

30-something Durval lives with his mother in the back of the record store that they own. Unstylish and socially awkward, he tries to score points with the girl in the store next door, but doesn't get far. When their house begins to look unkempt, Durval urges his mother to hire a maid, and soon a beautiful girl named Celia shows up to take the low-paying job. A few days later, Celia disappears, leaving behind a little girl and a note, asking that Durval and his mother care for her. Celia never returns and Durval slowly grows attached to the little girl. When he and his mother discover her identity on the news, however, their world is turned upside down. This colorful film from Brazil delivers comedy and drama in equal measure and neatly avoids Hollywood-style cuteness.
