About What Is It Worth?
Free adaptation of Machado de Assis's short story "Pai Contra Mãe", having some of Nireu Cavalcanti's 18th Century chronicles as inspiration, the film traces parallels between life in during the slavery period and in modern Brazil.
Directed by Sérgio Bianchi, What Is It Worth? leans on a strong ensemble — Danton Mello, Leona Cavalli, Lázaro Ramos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2005.
