This film is comprised of two segments: (1) Lua de Mel & Amendoim. A womanizing middle-age man wants to have sex with his fiancée but she refuses to do it before they get married. He finally gives in, but has problems in the honeymoon. (2) Berenice. A young womanizer meets a woman who will not have sex with him as she does not approve of his lifestyle. He eventually falls in love with her.
A pair of thematically-related films, mildly comical in tone. The first one is set in São Paulo, and the second in Rio de Janeiro. They may be viewed today as a testimony on the morals of another era. The first episode depicts conservative values in their orthodox form; the second depicts a more liberal way of life, which nevertheless does not diverge a lot from the old ways: the independent woman is not keen on enjoying casual sex because that would not be emotionally satisfying and would not free her from being a sex object. Despite those interesting considerations, the film is poorly made, and not entertaining.
Rating: 26
