Bossa Nova (LAFF)

Bossa Nova is a comedy mixing several personal stories, with a genuine Brazilian charm. Mary Ann is an American who teaches English in Rio de Janeiro; a widow who has given up on love. Lawyer Pedro is amid of a sticky divorce and wants his wife back, but when he sees Mary Ann in the hallway outside her language school, he is instantly smitten with her and decides to join her classes. Meanwhile, another Mary Ann`s student is having an affair over the Internet; Pedro`s brother falls in love with Pedro`s new intern; and there`s also the football star who`s taking lessons from Mary Ann so that he can join a team in Manchester. Bossa Nova has a smooth and relaxed flow, as suggested by the music it`s named after. The ways the characters` lives start to interlock are at the same time crazy and finely elaborated.
