Amigas de Sorte

Nelita, Nina and Rita are all in their seventies and have been friends since childhood, and for fifty years they play the lottery weekly and are used to losing, until one day they win. Not too much money but enough to fix their lives, as long as their husbands don't find out beforehand.

Directed by Homero Olivetto, Amigas de Sorte leans on a strong ensemble — Susana Vieira, Arlete Salles, Rosi Campos — 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 2021.
