10 Horas para o Natal

"Starring Luis Lobianco ('Carlinhos & Carlão') and Giulia Benite ('Turma da Mônica: Laços'), '10 Hours to Christmas' tells the story of a family that, for the first time, won't be spending Christmas together. After all, the parents have separated and now each one is in their own corner. Thus, the three children of the couple (Benite, Pedro Miranda and Lorena Queiroz) try to "save Christmas as a family". It's an unreal yet enjoyable journey to watch. It lacks a bit of the Brazilianness of 'Tudo Bem no Natal que Vem', for example. But director Cris D'Amato succeeds with a light, simple narrative that entertains anyone -- and with scenes worthy of note, such as an entire sequence filmed at the corner of Ladeira Porto Geral and Rua 25 de Março. It won't change your life, but it will certainly make it lighter."
