In a Brazilian studio, where an American TV series is being dubbed to Portuguese, the middle-age Mary Mattos (Marília Pêra) dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. Her needy sentimental life is very complex: she lost her first love in a motorcycle accident, after making love with him; she has a married lover, Wallace (José Wilker), who promises to move with her to USA when his children are raised; and she has a brief affair with Pompeu (Paulo José), the director of the studio. Her best friend and neighbor is Dalila (Zezé Mota), who has an American boyfriend and pen pal. When Mary sees an advertisement in an American newspaper, looking for an actress with her profile, she decides to take a chance and move to USA. "Dias Melhores Virão" is a melancholic romantic comedy, having more ups than downs, and mainly supported by a magnificent cast, highlighting the outstanding Marília Pêra, one of the best Brazilian actress. This film was awarded with many prizes, such as Best Actress and Screenplay in the Festival of Cartagena (1991), Special Prize of the Jury of the Festival of Denzer (1990), "Art et Essai" in the Festival of Biarritz (1990), Prêmio Sharp, among others. My vote is eight.
