The clumsy Rodrigo is responsible and good student, while the emancipated Lia is totally irresponsible.

Along the years, Rodrigo graduates in engineering and gets married with Clara (Christine Fernandes), having a son. The single mother Lia has a life without any commitment, moves to Paris and comes back to Brazil later. After a comedown, Rodrigo leaves his family and quits his job to live with Lia.
"Mais Uma Vez Amor" is a very bad rip-off of "When Harry Met Sally...". On the contrary of the delightful 1989 American comedy, this tropical romance tells the story of a real bitch and a totally insecure and contradictory guy, capable to love his wife, his son and his profession, but quit his life to have a reckless one, in a typical earlier middle-age crisis. The story has no moral in the end, I did not feel any sympathy for the lead characters and I did not like this movie. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Mais Uma Vez Amor" ("Once Again Love")
