BRAZIL - Durval Records
Durval discos

Dumpy Ary França runs the last local outpost of vinyl (“the sound quality is better on CD, but not the music”) and fends off control-freak mom Etty Fraser ("Why aren't you giving me any grandchildren?"), when their beautiful-but-suspiciously-inexpensive maid absconds, leaving behind cute-as-a-button kid Isabela Guasco. Everybody's happy, and then they find out ... Light comedy darkens as it eventually teeters on the edge of tragedy. A multiple award-winner: Best Film, Director, Screenplay, Cinematography, Art Direction, Audience Award, and Gramado Film Festival.

El gordito Ary França maneja el último almacén de vinilo en la ciudad [“la calidad de sonido es mejor en CD, pero no la música”] y trata de distanciarse de su mamá controladora Etty Fraser ("Porqué no me has dado ningún nieto?"). Cuando la criada hermosa pero sospechosamente barata se fuga, dejando atrás la preciosita niña Isabela Guasco, todos quedan felices, pero después descubren que... Esta comedia ligera oscurece hasta llegar al borde de la tragedia. Un ganador múltiple: Mejor Película, Director, Guión, Cinematografía, Dirección Artística, Premio del Público, Festival de Cine de Gramado.
