[edit] Plot
The story of the film focuses on a man and a woman who travel to small towns in Brazil as entertainers. He plays the guitar and sings, while she is an exotic dancer.
Troubles arise for the couple when television is introduced into these small towns, making the local populations totally engrossed with watching the municipal televisions, and completely uninterested in watching any kind of live entertainment. They begin searching the skylines for any small towns without "fishbones", their term for television antennae. They are saved from complete ruin by winning the lottery.
He becomes a famous television entertainer in Brasília, with his own children's show, while she buys a lavish recreational vehicle, hires backup chorus girls, and is determined to go back into the rainforest and once again wow the locals.
