THIS IS LUNA

LET ALL LOVE BE FREE

FREE LOVE FORUM

Tell me this didn't happen.

Luna, nothing happened, relax.

You just drank a whole bottle
of organic liquor,

stole my bed,
and apparently my clothes too.

You also told me

you're in a monogamous relationship
with Dante.

-Do I smell butter?
-Yes, from a great farm.

I bought it because I thought
we'd eat more breakfasts together,

but whatever.

-Vini, I like you.
-But you like Dante more.

-That's it.
-So we're good?

It's all good between us,
but some other people...

Clarice.

She told me to choose
between Dante and my job.

I am talking about Sabrina.
And Bia is angrier than usual.

But they're my friends,
they're going to get it,

but Clarice is an extremist.

-I say we k*ll her.
-I don't know.

I wouldn't dismember Luna.

And it would be hard to hide her body
because we can't fold it.

I know, she's not flexible at all.

I'm ashamed of doing Pilates with her,
and she's the teacher's pet.

-She did so many things to me.
-To me too.

-Are we also self-centered?
-Luna is worse.

It's true.

What if we shave her head
while she sleeps?

We'd have to pretend
that everything is fine.

I can be many things, but I'm not false.

I locked myself out of the house.

Or maybe you're avoiding Sabrina

because you missed
the most important event in her life.

-How do you know that?
-She asked me to read her coffee grounds

to decide if she should strangle you,
and the coffee said yes.

Grandma, I need to tell you
about something that happened...

My God, you decided to marry Victor,
the armchair guy.

At my age, nothing is more important
than a healthy spine.

No. You know that party I went to?

There was a Gypsy there who told me

that these cards belonged
to some Portuguese woman 200 years ago,

whose name was Lavínia Lovari.

Could she have been related to us?

-Lavínia?
-Yes, and I was looking at the cards,

and in the Clover card
I found the initials "L.L.".

Luna,
I found nothing good about these cards.

You need to be very careful with them.

So far, they have only helped me.
They even brought us closer.

Then read them again
to see if I can hear them.

-I see problems ahead.
-A power struggle.

Under your head,
in your cubicle, there will be rain.

-Did you hear it?
-Nothing.

There's going to be
a power struggle at work. I have to go.

-Wait, right now?
-Bye!

-Bye, Luna.
-Bye.

I'm from the Podcast "Sabrina The Liar".

How does it feel to be the most relevant
taboo breaker in the world right now?

-I just wanted to be an artist.
-Lie to me some more, please.

It's true, I was tired of making
sex shop calendar designs,

-fliers for improvisation groups...
-Please, lie some more! I love you.

EDITORIAL OFFICE

JOURNALISM
BEHAVIOR

He wants to call a meeting in one hour.

What are those clothes?
Are you afraid to get hit by a car?

I should be. Clarice wants me dead.

And as if that wasn't enough,
Sabrina and Bia...

I know what to do about Clarice,
I'm going to talk to HR.

-I'm not your boss, we did nothing wrong.
-I know, but Clarice is my boss.

If we're together,
she won't respect me, and I want her to.

-Are we breaking up because of her, then?
-We can pretend.

-What do you mean?
-We can break up in the office.

You can even cry a little if you want.

-Why do you have to break up with me?
-It has to be that way.

It needs to look real.
I'm going to teach you.

I'm going near Clarice's room,
saying that I want to break up with you.

-Then you can start crying.
-Wait, I can't cry.

-Why not?
-In front of everyone?

-Yes.
-I don't know how to do that,

-give me a couple of weeks.
-You can't fake it?

Just stare at the lights
and you'll start crying.

-Did you make it?
-No!

-Look, it's Sabrina.
-Sabrina!

Your work is amazing,
you really are phenomenal.

You don't have to do this, seriously.

-Stop that! Thanks.
-I love it when you lie.

I did it for the sake of art.

-I even want to donate the money.
-Guys, she's a genius.

Imagine if I said:
"My dad is a dentist in Jundiaí".

Or: "I wasn't bullied at school".

I had to lie!
Don't touch me. Thanks.

Is this a new character already?

-This is an ode to post-truth.
-She is fake news personified.

Sabrina.

I want to go somewhere
I'm taken seriously.

By whom?

Sabrina?

Bia?

You need to help me.
Nobody believes me.

Today I ordered coffee without sugar
and they put three spoonfuls!

That is bad for your teeth, you know?

Finally, there she is,
the dentist's daughter!

You should have noticed it.
I floss three times a day.

Who would do that?

A bored farmer.

You're right, and I was so in love
that I didn't even see it.

-I'm in love too!
-I said I was!

I can handle lies in my line of work.

I do it too, it's normal.

But I won't have that in my bed.

-But I wanted to...
-Be a famous artist?

You are!
Your art sold like hot cakes.

It was a success.

Maybe you wouldn't have fallen in love
with the dentist's daughter.

You had the chance to be honest,

and you missed it.

Every lie has consequences.

But I still think you can be
a very profitable artist.

I don't want to be known as a liar.

Then don't be. Look.

"Rehabery". Go there.

When you come back,
we can do an "Honest Sabrina" exhibit.

This works for actors,
actresses, singers,

they go in as alcoholics,
they come out as gurus,

and everybody buys it.

I'm going to tell you something.
We don't need two departments.

Reality already became entertainment,
and entertainment became serious news.

We either keep Clarice or Dante.

It should be Clarice,
but Dante almost got an Oscar, so...

Great, forget your cellphone
in every JournAW office.

-You're good in this absent-minded role.
-I really do forget my phone. A lot.

It's horrible, isn't it?

-Men always prioritize men...
-If I cared about feminism,

I'd want to know your name.
Now go and leave the door open,

because Luna is going to pretend
to break up with Dante.

How did you know that?

The same way I knew
that you could be useful.

Go!

-Come on.
-Are you sure? I can't do this.

-I don't want to see you anymore.
-But why?

Give me a good reason!

Tell me the truth.

The truth is I need to prioritize my job.

I don't have time for you.

Sad.

So this is the end for us?

I'll always remember
our kiss at the bridge.

That bridge
is the Brazilian Eiffel Tower.

You're right, Luna,
I'll always remember our kiss.

Goodbye.

Congratulations, you've finally
prioritized your career.

I listened to you, Clarice.
From the bottom of my heart.

And you did well too.
Now I can finally trust you.

Really?

To do what?
A documentary about the age of fake news

-and their role in weakening democracy?
-Calm down. We're not there yet.

I am going to tell you something
that Dante can't find out.

Sure.

He's not going to want to talk to me now.

The Board wants to merge
Journalism and Entertainment.

Really? Is entertainment
going to be more journalistic?

Or vice versa.

They're going to decide
who is going to lead this transition.

And why are you telling me this?

Because I'm sure it's going to be me.

They want someone
who stays in their office,

not someone who goes around
making videos.

-You mean, like Dante does.
-Exactly.

So I want you to devise a plan

to broaden the scope of your work
when I'm in charge of everything.

Does that mean
Dante is going to be fired?

Wait, does that bother you?

No, of course not,
I don't even want to look at his face.

Good.

After everything they promised me?

No, Jonas needs to hear a few things

-if he thinks I'm going to accept this.
-Calm down, you can't say anything.

Clarice can't know I told you this.

I'll wait for him to come.
But I'm not going to take it.

We should ask the cards
how you should react.

-Luna, you know I don't believe in this.
-Just listen to me.

Hi, grandma. How are you?

Grandma, remember when I was little

and you told me to hide
something from Raul

but I told him anyway?

You spoke so much

about contraceptive pills
that he began taking them.

You know how siblings are like,
we want to try everything together.

Lady, we're arriving at six.

-Where are you?
-I'm crossing the street

to run some errands downtown,

but you didn't call me
to talk about your brother.

It's just that...

I found out that Dante will be fired,
but it was Clarice who told me that.

The cards told him to be quiet,
but he doesn't believe them.

Luna, be careful with those cards,
they're not reliable.

Clarice isn't either.

What is that noise?

I'm the next in line.

Bye, dear.

Bye.

Dante!

I was just thinking

it is time for us
to start a new era in JournAW.

-And I'm thinking about your role...
-What role?

As an office puppet,
sitting down all day?

Jonas, let me explain something.
I lead by example.

I go out to the streets.

But if this place
doesn't value my work, I quit.

That's it, I quit.

You can let Clarice run this place,

she will run it into the ground
just like you.

Actually, I called you here
because I wanted you to manage

every department.

I was even going to hire
some sub-editors

so that you could continue
your award-winning job on the streets.

On the streets?

-That is good, isn't it?
-Yes, that is very good.

Except I didn't know that I was running
JournAW into the ground.

-No, I didn't mean that you...
-Dante.

I was going to promote you,
but now you're fired.

-I'm what?
-Good night, I am too busy for this.

Wait, what do you mean I'm fired?

What do you mean?
You can't fire me like that.

Are you sure
you want to stay in this place?

-You don't need this.
-My image as an artist does.

When did our lives get so complicated?

-The cards would know the answer.
-Luna would know the answer.

Because this is all Luna's fault.

Amazing.

-Good night, Sabrina. Welcome.
-Thank you.

I hope you can make the best
out of your stay here.

Please.

-Dante...
-Clarice used you.

They didn't want someone
to stay at the office all day.

But isn't that what you wanted?

-Why are you packing?
-Because I did what she wanted,

-I confronted the Board.
-Why did you do that?

-The cards told you to stay quiet.
-Yes, but I don't take advices

-from a piece of paper.
-That piece of paper helps people.

-And they're my people's tradition.
-Fine, Luna, don't be defensive,

I know you care about me,
I forgive you,

but Clarice is using you!

-I was trying to say that...
-I know that I have to confront Clarice,

I'll do that now.

-Are you here to congratulate me?
-For what? For using poor Luna here?

-I may be poor, but I wasn't used.
-Relax, I'm defending you.

Luna, let him speak,
he is his worst enemy.

Nobody tells me to be quiet.

Clarice, you fooled me.

Did I? Who fooled whom?

Do you think I believed
that fake breakup?

Wait, I'm the one
doing the fighting here.

Luna, this lady used you
to get me fired.

But if you had listened to the cards,
none of this would have happened.

Dante, even a bunch of cards
are more reasonable than you.

-Clarice, that was a low blow.
-But it worked so well.

The great journalist
who checks all the facts

heard some gossip at work
and didn't check it.

Luna, tell her you're quitting

because you're not working
with someone like that.

Yes, Luna, be unemployed like Dante,

he doesn't have bills to pay,

this is why he has the guts
to come in here and fight the Board.

-Luna.
-Luna, think before you quit.

I am going to think.

But I will remember that both of you
used me as a pawn in your fight.

-What? I didn't...
-You did.

You want me to stand by you
when this is your mistake.

A hot water bath,
that's all I need.

I thought you were going to make me
take a cold bath.

These are the waters of self-acceptance.

With edible papyrus from Kyoto
so you can digest your traumas.

Eat.

The paper?

Good. Very good.

Now swallow it.

-No way, this is horrible.
-Of course. They are lies.

You must digest yours.
Isn't that what you want?

We are going to help you, Sabrina.

Now, swallow it.

I need your attention, please.

For those of you who haven't heard yet,

this is the end of Journalism.

From now on, all departments
will be headed by Clarice.

This is the end of JournAW.

But if there is a single person in here
who still believes in the truth, as I do,

I'd like to invite you to join me.

I want to do real journalism,
to pursue news, not clicks.

What's the salary?

Well, for the sake of integrity,
we won't have a Board or leaders,

which means we are a collective.

So you're not paying?

Yes.

I'm in.

Vini, but I never treated you very well.

-Actually, you treated me kind of poorly.
-Look, this environment

makes us vain and competitive.

But I promise you
that if you come with me,

you'll have space to show your work.

Relax.

So, anybody else?

Is anyone else interested?

What about you, Luna?
Are you coming?

I think Clarice was right.

You don't know
what it's like to need a job.

Luna,

unfortunately, I can't do anything.

You'll have to choose
between her and me.

Yes,
the problem is that you never chose me.

Neither me nor my pieces of paper.

I won't stay with a man
who tells me what to do.

Vini.

Luna, I need to stay
away from you for a while.

See you soon.

Bia.

Sabrina.

I know you're there.

I also know it's not enough to apologize.

I need to prove that I'm a good friend.

And to prove it, I'll be sitting here,
I'll sleep on the floor.

Until you decide to forgive me.

Also, I had a horrible day.

I broke up with Dante
and my work is hectic.

It can't get any worse.

TARABAI
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF SPELLS

-Wano!
-Aunt Cecilia!

Hi! Look how you've grown!

-How is your grandma? Is she at home?
-You know what she's like.

She thinks goats are useful dogs.

-Thank you, Wano.
-Sure. Can you smell grandma's tent?

-Can you excuse us? I wanted to...
-Have a talk between women.

I prefer not to hear it,
because last time,

Raul convinced me
to take contraceptive pills.

-Go on, aunt, I'll wait.
-Thank you!

Rosélia.

Cecilia! It's been so long, girl!

-I'm not a girl anymore.
-Come in.

May I sit down?

Rosélia.

I need your help.

Mom gave me a card deck.

And the Clover card
has two little "Ls" written on it.

I told her to give you those cards.

I knew you would think
they're too pretty to be used.

-So they'd be safer with you.
-What do you mean?

Your true love is in this room.

They're about 200 years old, maybe older.

Nobody knows where Lavínia
brought those cards from.

Lavínia? Do you know this woman?

That's one of the reasons
why I didn't want those cards.

What else do you know about her?

Your true love is in this room.

Your true love is in this room.

Lavínia Lovari was a very well-known name

in the Portuguese court.

She was the nobility's fortune teller.

She worked for the rich.

Your true love is in this room.

Your true love is in this room.

Her predictions began to get darker.

So many tragedies, so many deaths,

even the earthquake
that destroyed the whole country.

But she only predicted
what was going to happen.

Or maybe the cards made it happen.

Your true love is in this room.

Your true love is in this room.

They called her a witch, they burned her,

along with her cards.

But the cards didn't burn.

And after that...

After that...

Nobody ever had the courage to use them.

Until now.

Your true love is in this room.

-Hi, grandma.
-Luna, throw these cards away, now!

This is worse than I imagined!
