Claudio C @Claudio666 6d Story of Losers (12,514–18 Jun 2026) In São Paulo, the journalist Leo lost his job and has several debts. The salary of his maid Matilde is delayed for several months. The drug addicted Ângela moved to his apartment with her son, the boy Lucas. One night, Leo stumbles upon Angela in a nightclub and is introduced to the travesty Sybelle and the androgyne Marcin. They befriend each other and Marcin brings the taxi driver Wilson to drink with them. Soon the group of losers see the chance to improve their lives. "Se Nada Mais Der Certo", "If Nothing Else Works Out" (2008), is a film with the story of losers with good intentions. Leo lost his job and was robbed by his employer that declared a higher payment to him, and the IRS is pressing him for what he has not received. Angela is a drug addict that wants to go to rehab but cannot afford. Marcin has good thoughts but is a drug dealer. Wilson needs a psychiatrist. The film has no cliché and mysteriously attract the viewer. My vote is seven.
