O Ibraim do Subúrbio

A poor man from the North Zone of Rio, head of a family, Roy struggles in every way to survive and accepts a job as a professional laugher on a TV station; Casimiro de Abreu de Sousa lives in a fantasy world in which he imagines himself to be part of high society. His daughter's wedding awakens in Casimiro the desire to achieve everything he has always fantasized about.

Directed by Astolfo Araujo, Cecil Thiré, O Ibraim do Subúrbio leans on a strong ensemble — Paulo Hesse, Suzana Faíni, Wilson Grey — 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 comedy titles of 1977.
