Valentim, Kodak and Eddie have known each other since they were little and are shopkeepers at Galeria Futuro, a shopping center in Copacabana that boasted luxury and pomp in its past, and which today, is nothing more than a sad and decaying place. Full of debts and on the verge of bankruptcy, the gallery's management is surprised by a millionaire proposal from a Pastor, who wants to transform the space into an Evangelical Church. The three friends are devastated by the possibility of losing the much-loved Galeria Futuro, but with the help of Paula, a newly arrived shopkeeper, they will create a wild and surreal plan to try to save the Gallery and prevent its sale.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
