GREICE
Special Features: U.S. Premiere | Post-screening reception sponsored by the Embassy of Portugal on Sept. 26
A Brazilian in Lisbon, 21-year-old Greice is studying sculpture at a boundary-pushing fine arts school. Relying on her charm and wit to get by, Greice isn't afraid to bend the truth to get what she wants. Desperate for a pool on a hot summer day, she fibs her way into the home and heart of the well-to-do Afonso. But after an argument leaves her the main suspect in a crime, she'll have to flee to her hometown of Fortaleza to pick up the pieces of her visa case. Brazilian filmmaker Leonardo Mouramateus' fresh, infectious comedy features a dazzling performance by Amandyra in the title role, echoing the pure charisma of a screwball heroine.
