As Alegres Comadres

The film centers on João Fausto, a former Portuguese officer who arrives in Tiradentes, Minas Gerais.

Rocha, with the ulterior motive of swindling them out of their money.

As a comedy, As Alegres Comadres offers a humorous take on themes of deception and ambition within a Brazilian context. The top cast includes Guilherme Karan, Zezé Polessa, and Milton Gonçalves, adding depth to this engaging narrative. This film may appeal to collectors of international comedies and those interested in Brazilian cinema from the early 2000s.
