Synopsis:
A loose adaptation of the Brazilian literary classic by Machado de Assis. It is a story about Brás Cubas, a wealthy man, who posthumously and thus honestly talks about his life. He lived in the nineteenth century, and to shorten the eternity after his death, he decided to recount the most important events in his life. He remembers his friend Quincas Borba, all his loves, academic education and the privilege of never having to work.
