Four delusional Brazilians try to make a blockbuster with zero budget and even less talent. Chaos ensues.
In this Brazilian mockumentary, Paulo, Manuel, Eric and Alex all have a shared dream: to make a blockbuster action movie. The challenge is immense, as it requires bringing their grandiose ideas down to Earth. Each is equally passionate and narrow-minded about what they do, and in spite of a predilection for getting into trouble, nothing will stop them from pursuing fame, success, and the money they lack for the project in one hilarious misadventure after another.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film gently mocks Brazil's 'pobres com aspirações de ricos' (poor with rich aspirations) phenomenon, where working-class creators chase Hollywood-scale dreams with garage-sale resources.
Director Marcos Jorge previously made the acclaimed 'Estômago'; this mockumentary format was a deliberate left turn to explore creative failure through comedy rather than drama.
