Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This Brazilian film is based on the play 'Same Time, Next Year' by Bernard Slade, which was also adapted into a 1978 Hollywood film with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn.
Juliana Paes became one of Brazil's biggest telenovela stars after this film — her performance here basically predicted her entire career trajectory playing magnetic disaster women.
