Irene lives in Petrópolis near Rio de Janeiro with her husband Klaus and their four sons. The oldest, a talented handball player, is being scouted by a professional club from Germany. Irene always knew that her children would someday leave the nest - but the moment of farewell is coming much sooner than expected. Pride mixes in with motherly worry: How will her son fare without her, alone out in the world?

Die ausgezeichnete Karine Teles spielt diese Mutter, und ihre Zwillinge verkörpern die Jüngsten der Familie. Dass der dicke Zweitälteste ständig mit einer Tuba unterwegs ist, wirkt ähnlich bemüht wie der internationale Titel. Aber sonst schaut man den Figuren von «Benzinho» (so der Originaltitel) gern beim Durchwursteln zu.

Thomas Bodmer

Un film positif mais jamais naïf, qui dénonce, derrière la comédie familiale, les inégalités économiques du Brésil.

Xavier Leherpeur

Le charme du film repose sur ces petits riens auxquels le réalisateur par vient à donner du relief : des baignades à la plage, une remise de diplôme, un barbecue en famille, des enfants qui chahutent...
