O Milionário

Directed by Perdigão Queiroga

With Raul Solnado, Costa Ferreira, Nicolau Breyner, Carlos Fernando and Clara Rocha

A sentimental comedy about... toothpicks. The hero manufactures and exchanges toothpicks for countless goods because he ignores the value of money. "The Millionaire" is his nickname. He runs around the city, happy, meeting friends: Carlitos, the newsboy, and Celeste, the lemon seller. His innocent life contrasts with the city, full of traps and dangers.
