Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro - Early '80s

Your mom is here.

-What? -Yes, your mom is here.

-Shit. -Shit.

Hello!

We can make things up by singing.

We can make up romance, longing, lies.

We can make history by singing.

I learned how to sing by yelling.

Without any shame, any sin.

I sing to scare my demons away, to bring my friends together,

to feel the world,

to seduce life.

Are you the man?

The man.

The guy that's good at yelling, sent by Leo Jaime?

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers

We're at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water

And fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

What the hell, man, this guy can yell.

That's the only thing I can do.

But isn't that how rock goes? Everyone yells and jumps.

Rock is not a lagoon, it's a river running to the sea. It's all about flow.

Check out this flow right here.

Now we're talking.

Hey, bro, what's your name?

You can call me Cazuza.

Cazuza, this is Dé.

The guy who gave you the joint is Guto.

That one is Maurício, and I'm Frejat.

Frejat.

-Do you wanna make some rock? -I wanna have fun.

Step on that gas.

Step on that gas.

On this Sunday's derby match, against Vasco da Gama,

Zico will be back, after recovering from his injury.

We'll be seeing the world champion on the field.

I'm nervous, could you please turn off the radio?

We'll be back--

Ma'am, with all due respect,

don't you think he's back home?

I'm sure he's not.

You know, ma'am, I have four kids.

Sometimes, they disappear, but--

Yeah, but this is my only one.

As long as there is futility and marijuana,

there will be hope.

-Come down. -Hey!

Come on, Cazuza, stop being a kid.

Come down.

-To which side? -Come down!

To which side?

-Come down, Cazuza. -Let's go.

This side, or that side?

I have to reach infinity, do you know why?

Because it's forever.

It's forever!

Oh, my God.

If it's forever, it's not a good fit for you, Cazuza. Let's go, man.

-Yeah! -Let's go, Cazuza.

-Let's go, let's go! -Let's bounce!

Let's go!

Yes!

Let's go! Go, go!

They're here, they're here.

The most efficient guardian angels in all of Rio.

My king and my queen.

Oh, Cazuza.

-My baby, let's go. -No, no, look,

your kingdom.

A team of vagabonds, approved by the worst tables in this city.

Vadão...

look at him. Ever-changing home address. Current assets...

the clothes he's wearing.

-Let's go, Cazuza. -His crime?

He's got nowhere to go.

Maneco.

Maneco, he has no place to sleep, he'd rather pass out drunk on the street.

And Tonico, 22 years old,

-got an F in moral education. -Let's go.

His crime? He thinks too much.

-Stop. -One would think one can think too much.

No, no. And finally,

this shameless rich boy from South Rio.

Let's go, Cazuza.

This is not possible, Mom.

I'm not going anywhere by myself.

My friends come with me.

That was hilarious.

Let's go to the beach.

Did you see what happens, when you're never at home?

Not now, Lucinha.

It's easy for you, João.

You leave early, come home late.

I'm tired of controlling Cazuza on my own.

You have to talk with him.

Right now.

What should I do with you?

Don't forget to put gas.

I asked you what should I do with you.

I'll do it myself, Dad.

If it was up to you, you'd still be at the police station.

Was it expensive?

Money is not the issue, Cazuza.

Actually, money is well-spent when you spend it with friends.

The thing is, you need to know where you wanna go.

Do you want to make it anywhere?

I was at the beach,

the police station, now I'm here. Three places I've made to.

You know what I'm talking about.

I do.

Leather chair, air conditioner, diploma,

cufflinks, cologne, bills to pay...

I pay those.

Mine and yours.

But you said money wasn't the issue.

The issue is what you do to make money.

Dad, I have fun,

I love my friends, I don't do harm to anybody.

The problem is not only the harm we do to others,

but also the harm we do to ourselves.

There you go, Big John...

I need my friends to protect me.

Vanderlei, come here. Come. Let's go.

Come on, come on.

-Hey! -Popsicles.

Popsicles, popsicles.

Do you have a light?

I always do.

Come on.

Cashew!

Hey, Tonico!

What's your name?

-Malu. -Malu.

-Do you want? -Hey, Malu.

Tonico, Malu. Malu, Tonico.

Hey, Vanderlei.

What's your name?

Mine? It's Cazuza.

What about that tattoo?

-Did you like it? -It's gorgeous.

It fits you.

Malu sounds great. Malu.

Malu, don't take advantage of me like that.

Where is it going tomorrow?

What?

The sun.

To Japan.

Cheesy people.

Go. Three-zero.

Hello, hello, everyone.

What's up?

Hey, man.

-What's up? -Look at the time, Cazuza.

Traffic was awful, Frejat.

Traffic? Everyone was here early. We're professionals.

Look at this. Super professional.

Wait up.

It's used on top of it all.

-Did you bring the lyrics? -I did, they're here.

I'll exchange it for a cig.

Done deal.

Here you go.

Awesome.

Is that it?

The best colognes come in the worst bottles, you know the drill.

I don't know what my body harbors

In such a warm summer night

And I could care less if lightning strikes down

Any vague sense of what feels right

I've been feeling so down

I've been feeling so down

Once again I'm gonna sing

I'm gonna shout

I'm gonna drag you out Of a bar

That's so weird, man.

I had Janis Joplin in mind.

So tomorrow we'll go straight to blues.

Blues it is!

Slow down, for God's sake,

we're not immortal.

Slow down, slow down.

Come on, man!

We're very much alive!

Slow down!

Relax, bro, I'm still under the limit.

What limit?

Mine!

Stop this thing.

What the hell, Frejat, have you gone crazy?

Where are you going?

What the hell, bro?

Are you nuts?

Damn.

What the hell?

Come on, Frejat?

He's gonna get mad.

Hey, Roberto Frejat.

My love, come back to your bros.

I'm gonna be a good boy.

I promise.

I have friends everywhere.

At the beach, at the movies, at the theater, in the slums.

I have friends that are journalists, waiters, bums...

I'm not about adding, I'm about multiplying.

I can't do it on my own.

I walk in a pack.

Disguised, barefaced, celebrating.

I feel at home in the middle of the street, late night, with a huge crowd.

My tribe is the hugging tribe.

Hey, Tatu, I'll see you there.

Malu!

What's up?

How are you?

Hey, buddy, bring us four.

Moms have to give birth twice.

The first one when we're born...

the second, when we grow up.

The second one is harder.

Harder for who?

For all of us.

It's happening.

Bring us our last drink.

Hey.

Give it to her.

You have to know what you want and go after it.

Those are three very difficult things.

-What? -Knowing what you want,

going after it, and everyone being the same.

-Good morning, little birdie. -Good morning, baby.

Why didn't she stay for breakfast?

Who?

The girl who slept with you.

There was no girl.

Have you been stalking me?

Yes.

Why aren't you like the others, Cazuza?

Because the others, Mom, are full of flaws.

And not you?

No. Not me.

What flaws? I have no flaws, I'm your only child.

I'm pure perfection.

-Are you going out already? -I am.

Stay and finish your breakfast.

I'll have breakfast out.

First of all, a hot kiss Tongues looking for each other

Seeing if our lips fit

If our kisses match

Then, it's all about the skin If the texture works

Body hair on body hair

Hey.

I'm an Aries man, and Aries never asks for permission, we'll kick the door down.

I've never been afraid to show myself.

You might hide at home, protected by walls, but you're alive,

and life is to be shown.

Did you like my somersault?

This is my show.

You can only find yourself if you show yourself, even if you get lost in the way.

Guys, I have news for you, I'm going to Bahia.

Wait a minute, Cazuza.

What's this about?

The guys rented a beach house in Trancoso. Everyone's going.

What do you mean? How are you getting there?

I don't know, Mom. We're taking a bus, or a car, or a boat, or a plane,

or we might walk, however we get there.

No, no. Come back here.

What's up with you going on a trip out of nowhere?

And what?

Who's going?

Everyone, you don't know them.

Okay, but who's going?

Everyone, Dad. The whole gang.

No.

No, what?

You're not going.

You can't come here and inform us of your decisions.

You have to ask me for permission, and I won't give you, so you won't go.

I'm going to Bahia, whether you like it or not.

If you go, don't come back.

He only left the house.

It was about time.

You might be right...

but don't expect me to like it.

We can't like everything.

He will learn how to live on his own.

I'm afraid he will get hurt.

You have to find a way for him to be close to us.

Several bombs exploded outside Riocentro.

Inside the venue, a Labor Day concert.

Outside, a bomb explodes near the power house.

Another one explodes...

That's crazy.

They just signed the Amnesty Law,

are they gonna close it again?

That's why.

Someone must have not liked it.

Things will get even more squared.

They can't make us squared.

That's what you think.

They might make us wear uniform out,

fence the beach with barbed wire,

place tiles on the lagoon, total madness, total shit.

Jeez, you guys are tripping.

We're always on a trip.

I think I'm going home.

Let me drive you.

Going already?

It's so early.

You're on fire, Cashew!

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere far from this paranoia.

Fuck!

You're crazy.

No, I'm not.

You're crazy, you burn money.

-If it's for your well-being. -What do you know about my well-being?

Everything, Cazuza.

The stuff you threw away wasn't only mine, it was worth a lot of money.

I'll pay for it.

Go fuck yourself!

I'm not gonna make it easy for you here.

I just don't want to wake up early, Dad.

Right.

Make up another schedule for me.

Do you want to work or sleep?

Work, sleep...

but I'd like to sleep more than work.

Good morning, Zeca.

Good morning.

Look, he'll be your helper.

Zeca, this guy should obey you.

Make him work.

Leave him with me.

Bye.

Bye.

Listen...

now that you're my slave,

go get that bottle of whiskey behind Nestor,

so we can celebrate the Emancipation.

-Enough. -Zeca.

I come from the same place as him, every day.

This will not work.

Kid...

life's only perfection

is happiness.

Cheers.

Now, imagine this.

Behind this wall,

there's a beach.

The Atlantic, so blue.

One of these days,

we have to fall in love.

Let's go to the beach?

Fuck off!

What's up, Mom?

Why are you bitter?

I've been the perfect son for you,

working a nine-to-five.

Give me a break.

Can you please talk to me?

I brought you what you asked for. Isn't that what matters?

What the fuck is going on?

I'm getting screwed left and right.

I always do what you ask me to. Since you haven't "un-asked" me,

I keep getting screwed left and right.

Mom...

-Cazuza. -Give me a kiss right now.

Don't be crazy.

-Stop this. Cazuza! -Are you gonna give me a kiss?

Sto-- Don't be crazy!

Burroughs.

Henri Miller.

Kerouac.

Humboldt.

Hey...

pick one and read it for us.

"For we can see together The beauty of souls

Hidden like diamonds In the clock of the world"

Read this for me.

Look at this.

You're gonna rip the Allen Ginsberg.

Who gives a fuck?

Some things are meant to be read...

some things are meant to be heard...

and some things are meant...

to be smoked.

You know, kid...

you might not know what you want...

but it looks like you know what you don't want.

So don't waste your time.

What are you talking about?

Whatever you want to understand from it.

Come.

Look.

When my head is full,

I write down my madness.

Sometimes, it all comes out fast,

so with these very simple tools,

we can freeze the beauty.

Everything is possible, Cazuza.

Everything.

It doesn't matter what they're gonna say Let them say it

Cazuza!

I'm beyond hoarse, I'm already mad

I am your love, understand me You need to find out

Frejat!

What you're missing

Cazuza!

Yeah, what you're missing

Cashew is drunk.

You're putting up a front

Posing as a star

You need to give yourself away

Give yourself away

Why did you stop?

-You're off-beat. -Get off-beat with me, Frejat. Such a perfectionist.

Let's go, let's go. Another one.

That was good.

-That was great! -Hey, Cashew.

Get off that stage...

-Don't stop. -...learn how to sing.

If you don't like it, close your window.

Hey, lady, I'm not talking to you. I just wanna sleep.

You know what your problem is?

You've never drunk, with your little goatee.

You don't know what you're missing.

Stop busting my balls, man.

Alcohol...

Bread is reality, but alcohol...

Alcohol is imagination.

This is on the Bible,

infidel!

-Amen! -Amen!

I'm done.

Come back! Come back!

Come back! Come back!

Come back! Come back!

The sound is awesome, João.

It's dirty.

That's how these kids are.

More noise and less refinement.

...I'm Black Billy...

I only hear noise.

That's their biggest trait.

Who cares about something polished? Trust me.

I think they are gonna do horrible with that.

I then smiled at my baby She didn't care and called me a thief

I think exactly the opposite.

It's a raw sound, like a garage band.

What are you afraid of?

It must suck to be called a spoiled brat.

Bullshit.

Hey, my love. Call him.

What's up, Dad? Any problem?

No problem at all.

Do your thing.

I got the lighter. Let's spark up that joint.

Hey, guys, the review of our album is out.

Yay!

"Finally, the Barão Vermelho LP is out."

Yay!

"Sadly, a disappointment for those who were getting used

to the boys' explosive energy on stage.

If on live performances, their energy is contagious, the same is not true with their vinyl.

Rock fans would be more thrilled if Barão Vermelho invited all

for an exciting garage rehearsal.

Frejat, this is yesterday's paper.

This is old news.

-Yesterday's paper, old news. -That's right.

I'm part of the uneasy generation.

I never had the patience for military, parades, scared population.

Everyone was paralyzed, speechless, numb.

It was impossible pretending nothing was happening.

To change anything, we had to yell,

we had to drug ourselves.

We had to go out to the streets, to face our own weakness.

It was a way for us not to surrender,

not to lose our hair, not to lose our edge.

Zeca, you old fag.

I'm glad you booked the arena.

We could have played inside the van.

Let's do it.

Zeca,

real talk.

I think it's better you grab the guys

and go down to the audience to make up numbers.

Give me a kiss.

Come on, let's go. Energy!

It's so fucking empty.

Hey, guys.

Let's show them that rock 'n' roll is for one person...

and for a million!

Barão Vermelho!

Hey, baby, I've been a little crazy

Wandering from bar to bar

Talking away

Just to see you passing by With your swag

Staring at me And filling me with hope

Hurting my sight

Going from table to table

Smiling at anyone

Pretending you're easy

But giving a hard time to my heart Hey, cutie

Everybody has a weak spot

You're mine, why not?

Yeah You're mine, why not?

Stop!

There she is.

Get out, Zeca. Get out!

Damn!

Look at that.

I'm here!

I'm here to party!

Damn!

Hello.

Yes-- Hi, Lucinha.

How are you, dear?

Cazuza?

He can't talk now, he's in the middle of a show.

-He's great. -Let's go, Frejat.

Don't go, Frejat.

Come here, come. Come.

Hello, Lucette? She got pissed.

I lost my blouse.

I can see that. T-shirts are all the same.

Thank you. My mom is gonna kill me.

There's only one way to avoid that.

I'm jealous of you for that.

You're free. A star.

Do you think I'm a star?

You shine so bright.

-You're beautiful. -No, you are.

Got it. Tell them to send it.

-Som Livre, good morning. -Okay.

-Good morning, Zeca. -I'll call you back. Bye.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -João, listen to this.

I want the fortune

Of a peaceful love

With the taste of a bitten fruit

You and me Rocking like a hammock

Quenching our thirst with saliva

This is beautiful.

To be your bread, your food

-Is that Caetano's? -No.

All the love in the world

Zeca, stop fooling around. Tell me whose song is this?

Oh... You can't recognize your own sperm?

Come on, Zeca.

It's your son's.

-You're crazy. -Yesterday, at Canecão, Caetano sang this

and it was absolutely wonderful.

Everyone thought it was his song

and he said, "No, it's Cazuza's,

the biggest poet of his generation."

He said that?

John, Cazuza is flying...

solo!

Often have I lost myself at sea

Ears ringing with fresh-cut flowers

Tongue full of love and agony

Often have I lost myself at sea

As I lose myself in the hearts of some children

Because roses in the forehead seek A stiff landscape of bones

And man's hands have no other purpose Than to imitate underground roots

As I lose myself in the hearts of some children

Often have I lost myself at sea

Mindless of water I go seeking The lighted death consuming me

Federico García Lorca.

With so much that we've got in common We let secrets come out

I need to tell you I love you

Win or lose you for good

This is genius.

-Let's record it. -Let's go.

When we talk

Telling each other stories And stupid things

With so much that we've got in common

We let secrets come out

And I don't know when to say it

I feel scared So scared

I have to tell you I love you

Win or lose you for good

Yeah, I need to tell you I love you

So much

-Hey, man, my guitar. -Hey, Maurício.

Frejat was fucking around earlier.

-Whoa. -I noticed the face he was making.

Want some whiskey?

Have some of mine.

It was dope, man.

Have some of this.

Pot...

-coke, alcohol... -What are you doing here, Mom?

-...more coke, late night coke... -Give it to me.

-Mrs. Lucinha. -Come on, for God's sake.

Frejat, how can your mom stand this?

Lucinha, my mom is like many moms. She can't know about everything.

Just wait, okay?

There's not enough men.

This is Beto.

Cazuza, I was looking for you all night long.

I'm always around, Serginho.

Not when I need you.

What the fuck is this, Serginho? Let go!

You knocked the blow over. Are you crazy, Serginho?

I'm asking for your hand

Take me anywhere

Just a little protection

To this abandoned overage kid

Rock on, kid. Rock it, dammit!

...of your bread

Crumbs and leftovers Are of interest to me

Love me like a brother

Yeah!

Honest lies are of interest to me

To me

Leftover pieces of your bread

Crumbs and leftovers Are of interest to me

Tiny potions of illusion

Honest lies are of interest to me

To me

The end The night ended like a gin blend

White foam washing my feet

Can't you see you belong with me?

Why did you pick me?

You stood out from the crowd.

And look what you've accomplished.

I don't care. Love is full of things like that.

Relax, calm down.

-Everyone is calm. -Wait, don't push me.

Start emptying your pockets. Slowly empty your pockets.

I don't have anything.

No one can prove absolutely anything.

Hey, don't push me.

Don't push me!

-Where's the other one? -Who?

Get out of my way.

Police.

-Police. Come on. -Slowly, slowly.

-What's this? -Get up.

-Frejat, what's going on? -Search him.

Hey, take it easy.

He's clean.

No, wait up. What do you mean?

I'm crazy too. I'm never clean,

-how am I clean now? -Crazy people belong in the mental hospital.

Look. He found it. He found my wallet.

I've been looking for it, since the beginning of the show. Thank you.

You're so funny, huh? Hey, watch it.

Let's go. Everyone, let's go to the station.

-What do you mean? -Everyone to the station.

Frejat, I'll send lawyer over.

Bro, the pizzas first, okay?

Pizza, my ass, let's go. Come on.

You're so fit, big boss.

Are you hiding from the female crowd?

What are you talking about, son? You know your mom is the only woman for me.

I know. But do they know?

A guy like you, looking like a movie star,

must put them on edge.

Tell me, big boss, tell your son.

In fact, they try.

But you bravely resist.

I try as well, Son.

You're happy, right, Son?

Happiness comes and goes, Dad.

It looks like the military is leaving.

Right, right. They're gonna put another old man there.

And what did you want, a superhero?

A superhero?

Superheroes die in madness, they don't start balding and become bureaucrats.

Everything is so simple for you guys.

It's not, Dad.

There's right, wrong and everything else.

-Some things never change. -Like what?

I wanna see how your generation will handle power.

Every night, insomnia convinces me that the sky

Makes everything look infinite

And that loneliness is actually the pretense

Of those who show off while hiding

Every night, there's a late-night movie on TV

Only those who are dating care about it

Well, let's go then

We're on the brink of something... Everyone sing!

A happy day will begin

That's the life of a dream

The whole wide world will wake up

And we'll fall asleep

Every day is the day Everything in the name love

That's the life I've always wanted for me

Looking for a spot Here and there

In the back-and-forth of your hips

Swimming against the current

Just to exercise

Every muscle that feels

Give yourself again to me

A happy day will begin

Louder!

A happy day will begin

The whole wide world will wake up

And we'll fall asleep Asleep

A happy day will begin

That's the life of a dream

The whole wide world will wake up

And we'll fall asleep

Thank you! And may you all have a happy day,

everyone throughout Brazil.

Thank you! Thank you!

One, two, three...

One more shot?

I'm obviously in

The night never ends

Why are we like this?

Now stay with me

And don't let me go

At least try to put up with me

But don't hit me so low

Sorry, sorry, my mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Mistakes are fundamental.

-Let's go. The other one. -Today is shit.

Let's go, let's go. Come on, Maurício.

You've barely started to know What life's like

But already announced

-it's time to say goodbye... -Come on, let's go.

"Without even knowing which way to go..." Let's do this one?

It's from Cartola. Let's see how it sounds.

-Listen... -The battery ran out.

-Plug it in, Guto. -"It's still early, love..."

-You've barely started to know what life's like... -Let's focus, Cazuza.

Dammit, Frejat. Let's do this one.

Fuck this, rehearsal is over.

On every street corner You drop a little bit of your life

Dude, one thing at a time.

In a little while You won't be who you are anymore

Easy, man.

Why only one thing at a time? Why?

This is samba. Have you seen rockers doing samba?

Listen to the guy, dude.

I don't think there is right music or wrong music.

I agree, but Barão does rock. It's simple, dammit.

I love simple things.

But sometimes it's not enough.

Cazuza, go fuck yourself.

Come with me!

Pay attention, my dear

Although I know you've made up your mind

On every street corner

You drop a little bit of your life

In a little while

You won't be who you are anymore

Listen to me, darling

Pay attention

Life is like a windmill, it seems

It will grind down your petty dreams

It will turn illusions into dust

Pay attention, my dear

In every love you have You'll find anything but bliss

Finally.

When you wake up You'll be facing an abyss

An abyss that you've dug with your feet

Recess is over. Let's go.

We're on. The crowd is uneasy already, they're gonna trash the whole place.

-Zeca. Go get Cazuza. -Yes?

Cazuza!

-Dammit, Cazuza. Let's go, kid. -Come on, Zeca.

Save mine for me.

-Where is he? -He's in there, warming up.

Come on, Cazuza, out.

Wait up, Frejat.

-We have to be on stage right now. -I'll be out in a bit.

The crowd is angry, they're wired for the show.

-I'm getting wired too. -I'm not kidding. Cazuza, open the door.

-Come on, Frejat. -I'm gonna kick this door open.

Goddammit, Frejat!

Goddammit, Frejat! Look what you've done, you son of a bitch.

Goddammit, Frejat! Look at this, dammit!

-You've ruined my face. Goddammit, Frejat. -Calm down, brother.

Brother, my ass!

-You hate me, don't you? -Calm down.

Hello, I've busted my head looking for you guys.

Thank you, let the fun begin!

You can follow your destiny

Your little game of being a star

Secretly making up

The idea of getting far

Your future looks dubious

I see money, I see pain

In a paradise so dangerous

Revealed in the palm of your hand

You give your all You don't give up

Beth Beat, my love

Let me know when it's time

Don't mind these sad faces

Pretending we don't exist

They sit down So ludicrous

In their own living rooms

Yeah

A hundred thousand copies.

A hundred thousand repetitions.

-A hundred thousand identical things. -Listen.

If ten people listen to each disk, we have one million.

And ten is not even that much.

Kiddo...

there's a shit ton of people listening to you guys, you know what I mean?

That's the point, Zeca.

I don't know if I'm speaking my mind. What I know is I'm not saying what I want.

"You, you, you..." This album is not only yours.

We're a team!

Cazuza... If you leave,

you'll tear me apart.

Zeca, look at me. Do I look happy?

I like making a mess. A mess. I wanna mix things up.

I wanna do something different.

This thing... This thing--

Don't be ungrateful to the album you're making money of.

I just think that if I wanna do it my way...

I have to do it alone, Zeca.

Cashew...

what is this "going solo" thing about?

Where are you trying to go with this?

Nowhere, man.

I'm out.

You're out? Now that we're making it big?

I was hurt, Frejat. There's no hurt in rock 'n' roll.

What about the album?

I love you, bro.

Our partnership is forever.

This thing...

will be a souvenir.

Why would someone make up a story that they died of cancer?

No one is ashamed of dying of cancer.

-A dead person with shame? -Was he ashamed of what did alive?

-Family, right? -Now, we have to be ashamed?

Is anyone here ashamed?

Who's ashamed?

You. Are you ashamed

It doesn't look like it.

What about you? Are you ashamed? Ugly.

This couple right here. Are you guys ashamed?

What do we think of when we drink red wine?

Debauchery. Good debauchery. I'm sure you're thinking about that,

and when you leave, you're going straight to some debauchery.

-Wait up, it's early. -I'm sorry, sir.

It's all good.

Go on, go on. Buy her a chastity belt.

Throw the key away, swallow it.

Starting today, you're only allowed missionary.

No more debauchery.

Leave him be.

-Bring us some whiskey? -Right away.

This disease sucks.

They don't want us to be happy.

Here.

Tancredo de Almeida Neves passed away tonight,

in the Heart Institute,

at 10:23 PM.

The president had gone through a long--

-Hello. -People are mourning in every city...

No, Mom, it's nothing, it was just a fever, I'm feeling good.

...my heart goes to you...

Petrópolis, now?

I'll go if I feel better.

Okay. Love you.

What's lying for

If you don't have the gift

Of knowing how to deceive

What's lying for?

-If there's no need to betray me -If there's no need to betray me

My love.

My love.

You slept out in the hammock, didn't even come inside the house.

You want your mommy, don't you?

What's going on?

Everything I've always wanted, I guess.

Headlines, applause.

I think I made it, right?

Isn't it amazing, Cazuza?

Yes.

But sometimes, Mom, the speed of it scares me.

What am I gonna want later?

Later when?

I don't know, Mom, I always want something. If there's nothing else...

what will be of my life?

You need to slow down...

and be more patient.

I don't know if I can be any different.

Love of my life

From this point until the afterlife

Our fates have been sealed Since the maternity ward

Yeah!

Cruel, unrestrained passion

I come bearing 1,000 stolen roses

So you can forgive my lies

And my fuck-ups

Over the top

I throw myself at your feet

I'm indeed over the top

I love a made-up love Yeah

I'll never breathe again

If you don't look my way

And if you don't love me

I'll waste away

I'll drop everything for you

I'll be a beggar, a thief, a killer

I'll do even the most futile things

If I can't have everything Then I don't want anything

Over the top I throw myself at your feet

I'm over the top

I love a made-up love Yeah

I throw myself at your feet

With 1,000 stolen roses I'm over the top

I love... I love a made-up love

Over the top Yeah

Cazuza!

Cazuza!

Come here, dammit!

Cazuza!

Talk to me, dammit!

Cazuza!

Stop! Stop this!

Stop!

Calm down. What did the doctor say?

What did the doctor say?

-The doctor said I've been touched by AIDS. -What?

The doctor said I've been touched by AIDS, man.

No one can wear my clothes, I can't kiss anyone,

all my things have to be isolated...

Bullshit.

This is bullshit.

What does it say on the exam?

I didn't read it, dammit. I didn't read it.

The doctor wouldn't lie, Zeca.

No-- Cazuza.

Calm down, we'll look for another doctor.

-Calm down. -I'm going back to where it all started.

Calm down. Calm down.

Cazuza, come here.

Cazuza!

Don't leave me alone.

I won't leave you alone, Son.

Don't let the coffee get cold.

Time doesn't stop, and we're still rushing.

I've been feeling weak.

There's a world around us that we don't even notice.

I've been losing weight, and getting too small for my clothes.

I feel like I've been gathering my things, that I've been focused.

If I could put this all in a bottle, I would drink it all at once.

I wonder what will be left of me.

I only know how to insist.

Enough. Thank you.

Baby, eat something.

No, Mom, I've had it.

Hospital food sucks.

American hospital food, even more so.

Cazuza, you have to eat.

Mom, there's a bunch of things I can't do.

And, listen, I won't quit smoking.

Look at that, João.

Okay, one cigarette.

One cigarette what?

One cigarette a day.

Are you crazy, Dad?

One cigarette every meal, so three cigarettes. Plus two for the bath, so five total.

Okay then, five.

Plus another one for every injection and every time they change my bandages.

Yes or yes.

Look at this, Zeca.

Poets and madmen so few

Singers of the future

Magicians of bitter naughty phrases

This is just the beginning. I'm gonna write more-- The chorus goes like this...

Ladies and gentlemen

I bring good news

I bring good news

I stared at Death's face And it was alive

Alive

Don't give it to anyone.

You do it.

-Music and lyrics? -Yes.

Make it happen.

You scared me. What happened?

What did the doctor say?

There's a new medicine, AZT.

Is it a cure?

It weakens the virus.

It's a chance, Cazuza.

Is there any risk?

They're testing it.

I'm about to become a Guinea pig?

You're going home.

We're all going home.

Beach time!

Thank God...

I'm leaving this botched hospital.

I mean Boston.

Because that kid

That was going to change the world

Change the world--

Stop, stop, stop.

You're off-beat.

You were always off-beat.

I know.

My breath is off-pace.

I'm not being able to do something I know I can do.

Cazuza...

you're singing great, man.

I'm gonna make a phone call and we'll resume.

-It's shit. It's shit, Zeca. -No way.

-Be honest. -No.

Did you call Angela Ro Ro?

-I did. Of course. -Did you really?

Hello, Nilo?

Nilo, I'm looking for you.

Where's my song?

Nilo, stop fooling around. If you don't want it, tell me. I don't have time.

Okay, I'll be in the studio.

I'm here. Okay.

He's stalling me.

-Here. Go on. -Did you call everyone?

Everything is set, Cazuza. Let's go back to work.

Go back in there.

Yes, go back in there. Very good.

Does anyone have Angela Ro Ro's number?

Let's start from the middle?

Wanna take some time?

I don't have time, Frejat.

Let's go, guys.

My pleasure

Now endangers my life

My sex and drugs

Has no rock 'n' roll left

I'm gonna pay My therapist's bill

So I don't have to ever again Find out who I am

Find out who I am

Because that kid That was going to change the world

Change the world

Now watches everything From the top of the fence

From the top of the fence

My heroes died of overdose

Yeah My enemies are in power

Ideology

I want one for my life

Ideology I want one for my life

I'd rather deal with a nocturnal misfit,

than with the boredom of people who don't know how to start their mornings.

And this is the medicine.

If you weren't born a crazy person,

jump-start it. Am I right?

Yeah!

Let's go home.

Come on, it's way too early. We haven't even turned into pumpkins yet.

-No, no, no. You've had too much. -What the fuck, Malu.

Excess is fundamental.

-Right? -Right.

-Come on, Malu. -Drink it.

-What the hell, Malu? -Malu!

You're wasting the whiskey.

You're crazy.

Goodnight.

Where are you going?

To your Mom's asshole.

-Excuse me. -Water, Luizinho? This is a conspiracy.

Your mom asked me to, Cazuza.

She made me promise her that you'd take this medicine at the right hour.

Luizinho, don't do everything my mom tells you. She will take advantage of you. Give me a kiss.

Luizinho, is there any more AZT left?

We could crush it, and each one of us could snort a line.

Zeca, this drug is mine.

Cheers.

I'm writing on a cold afternoon.

I work to scare away the loneliness in my thoughts.

Today, I made my disease public.

I'm feeling lighter, I'm feeling free.

I've been having many fears.

Fear of flying, fear of being on stage, fear of loving, of dying.

Fear of being happy.

Fear of doing therapy and losing my inspiration.

I'm making money by singing about my misfortunes.

Buying a farm and making kids may be a way of staying on this Earth forever,

because disks get scratched and break. Love, Cazuza.

Remember that time we were driving in Ipanema? Do you remember, Cazuza?

The guy cut us off, Cazuza opened his window and said,

"Faggot!"

The guy got off his car with a gun and asked, "Faggot who?"

And everyone in our car went, "Me, me, me!"

Wonderful.

-Mané was the first one. -Drink it.

What about Rock In Rio?

Are you afraid of drinking?

When I arrived you guys were...

No rush. Beth Beat, my love.

Where's the weed?

Malu, finally!

-It's late, Malu. -The party is over.

The fucking party is over.

-Calm down, João. -Out!

-Calm down, João.

-Out! -Wait, wait.

-Relax. -Out, out, out!

João!

Done. One-zero me.

Are you crazy?

Crazy? Me?

Of course. Imagine trying to be normal here.

I am crazy. I am crazy.

I'm crazy indeed.

I am.

But who's crazier?

What can I do to be as crazy as you?

Taking medicine and getting wasted?

You have nothing to do with this.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do. I have a lot to do with it!

Those are my friends, Dad.

Friends? Friends? These people are no good, Cazuza.

No one is good in this life.

My friends are no good, I'm no good...

you're no good.

I shoot towards the sun I'm strong, I'm unusual

My machine gun is loaded with sorrow

I'm just a guy

I'm tired of running in the wrong direction

Without a podium in the end Or the kiss of a girlfriend

I'm just another guy

But if you think I'm defeated

I want you to know I just got started

Because time Time doesn't stop

Days in, days out I keep on surviving without a scratch

Out of mercy of those who hate me

Your swimming pool is riddled with rats

Your ideas don't agree with the facts

Time doesn't stop

I see the future repeating the past

I see a museum of great novelties

Time doesn't stop

It doesn't stop It doesn't stop

Days in, days out

I keep on surviving without a scratch

Out of mercy of those who hate me

Your swimming pool is riddled with rats

Your ideas don't agree with the facts

No, time doesn't stop

I see the future repeating the past

I see a museum of great novelties

Time doesn't stop

It doesn't stop, no, no, no It doesn't stop

Thank you.

Cazuza, Cazuza, Cazuza

Let's go. Hi, Juju, help me with this.

Hi.

Come, Bené.

-Juju! -Hi, son.

I missed you.

Come. Careful, Bené.

We're here, Son.

At home.

I'll help you up.

Slowly.

Thanks, Bené.

We just rush, rush, rush...

but the best thing is to sit down.

I've always liked to be lazy.

I was ashamed of it.

I must have been born without shame.

I remember riding that lift when you were a kid.

You cried because you wanted us to buy the ticket.

And then you cried because you didn't wanna ride it.

And then you cried because you wanted to go on it.

And then you wouldn't stop laughing and spitting on the people down there.

Remember that?

I go back to that garden

Knowing deep inside That I must cry

Because I know You don't want to come back

To me

I complain to the roses

How stupid of me Roses don't have a voice

They only have the scent

They stole from you
