This is a film with an awful photography, too blue at night and too bright at sunlight. That puts me off, no matter the story. But the story also puts me off. Lineo, an imaginative Brazilian, tries to construct a "perpetuel" machine. He fights for his dream that is exactly that, a dream. He is not a scientist trying to get over some barriers. He is a dreamer, out of nowhere, with a dream. Thanks to some good sense he doesn't realize his dream! The story is constructed to make him a (false) hero but , if this was not the intention, that is far from clear. Brazil has a lot more to tell us that this junk of unfulfilled dreams.
