Naum Alves de Souza

A movie adaptation of a story created by one of the greatest Brazilian cartoonists: Laerte. Two dumb clowns wander at night with the task of rescuing a kidnapped mate from an organization that aims to exterminate their kind. 'The Night of the Dumb Clowns' is a contemporary fable filled with humor against intolerance.

Fausta is a survivor who dreams of building a house on land she's buying on the installment plan. Meanwhile she lives in a one-room tin-roofed hovel with her idle husband, João, and she works as a maid. Through it all she's a scourge, arguing, jeering and being jeered, but also displaying the spirit and energy of her idol, Tina Turner.
