Porta dos Fundos: Contrato Vitalício

A playful, absurdist comedy about friendship and creative ambition that uses a surreal premise to explore the tension between artistic vision and practical success.

Two friends, filmmaker Miguel and actor Rodrigo, win the grand prize of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. After drinking too much, Rodrigo signs a lifetime contract to star in Miguel's next film. Miguel mysteriously disappears and comes back ten years later proposing to make a delirious film retelling his adventure in the years he'd been gone. Rodrigo is already famous and fears risking his career, but he has no alternative but to comply.
