The Brazilian Arts Foundation offers a FREE Brazilian Movie Night to our community. Brazilian Arts Foundation presents another in its Brazilian Movie Night Series on Saturday, August 20, at 8pm.  This month the movie is:  Viva Sapato!  NEW LOCATION:  Alliance Gallery, 3201 Allen Parkway, Houston 77009.

A light-hearted and high-spirited story, full of spice, sensuality and romance, Viva Sapato tells the tale of Dolores, a beautiful Cuban dancer who decides to leave her failing marriage and open a restaurant by the beach with her aunt from Brazil. When her aunt sends her a pair of shoes instead of the money to start up the restaurant, she angrily sells the useless gift for spare change. Her dream fades away - until she discovers that the money was hidden in the heel.

The zany search for the shoes begins, as she follows the footsteps through the lively streets of Havana, running into the quirky, colorful characters that bring Viva Sapato and Dolore's dream.

(*Sub-titles provided).

Movie Night is a great opportunity to meet up with friends, practice your Portuguese, and network with other members of the community.
