No Mundo da Lua

For a long time a couple exchanged love letters, he living in the Northeast and she in Rio de Janeiro. One day he goes to the wonderful city together with a colleague, but he soon faces a problem: since he has sent the girl a photo of someone else, he is afraid to approach and reveal who he really is. At the same time, the colleague has a falling out with a girl who defends rock 'n' roll tooth and nail.

Directed by Roberto Farias, No Mundo da Lua leans on a strong ensemble — Walter D'Ávila, Violeta Ferraz, Consuelo Leandro — 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 1958.
