O Roubo da Taça

Sunny and sweaty RJ recreation about losers who came up with the idea of stealing maybe the single symbol of national joy. A dynamic, often self-depreciative take on Brazil's lack of self-confidence through a character who just couldn't be more brazilian in a time where the dictatorship was already melting -- he steals Jules Rimet to make money, reluctantly sells it to a dude from Argentina, doesn't honor his debt and spends the money with card games. Brazil is really the land of madness.
