The Magic Eye of Love

In São Paulo, the suburban girl Vera Maria Gatta finds a job of secretary in the Society of the Ornithology Friends in Boca do Lixo. Her boss Prolíxenes is absent most of the time and Vera is bored in the office. One day, Vera accidentally finds a peephole on the wall where she can peep the room of the prostitute Penélope. On the next days, Vera spends most of her time snooping Penélope having kinky sex with her clients, meeting her gigolo Átila and then she fantasizes the situation. One day, Vera decides to meet Penélope, but she is raped by Átila. Three days later, Vera returns to her office and quits the job. A couple of days later, she returns to the office in the middle of the night and throws a heavy statue on Átila's head. She finally has an encounter with Penélope.

Best in Show

1 hr 30 mins
At the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show, a "documentary film crew" captures the excitement and tension displayed by the eccentric participants in the outrageously hilarious satire Best In Show. This biting send-up exposes the wondrously diverse dog owners who travel from all over America to showcase their four-legged contenders. Mild-mannered salesman Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy) and his vivacious wife, Cookie (Catherine O'Hara), happily prepare their Norwich Terrier, while shop owner Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest) hopes his Bloodhound wins top prize. As two upwardly mobile attorneys (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock) anxiously ready their neurotic Weimaraner and an ecstatically happy gay couple (Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins) dote on their tiny Shih Tzu, inept commentator Buck Laughlin (Fred Willard) vainly attempts to provide colorful tidbits about each breed.
