My Own Private Hell

Deusimar is the owner of Inferninho, a dark and run-down bar that is a refuge for dreams and fantasies. Her dream is to leave everything behind and go away to any distant land, as far as possible from that place. Falling in love with Jarbas, the handsome sailor that arrives at the bar, dreaming of finding home, will completely change her life and the lives of the bar employees: Luizianne, the singer; Rabbit, the waiter; and Caixa-Preta, the cleaning lady.

Directed by Pedro Diógenes, Guto Parente, My Own Private Hell leans on a strong ensemble — Yuri Yamamoto, Démick Lopes, Samya de Lavor — 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 2019.
