I don't know where I once saw...

but I remember an actor in a movie who said:

"We make our own destiny".

I think that's why they loved movies...

Movies are really inspiring.

Don't move.

Don't worry, we don't kill kids.

And you, be quiet!

Chips, salami, biscuits...

It all started in a morning that would forever be

in the memories of everyone in that Institute.

Wake up, sleepyhead.

Stallone, Marcio and Annie

were inseparable friends...

and the Institute was their lives.

When Stallone was born,

his father gave him the name of his favorite actor.

Stallone.

After that, he left to make a film in Hollywood

and never came back.

It's better this way, kid...

His mother had to travel to take care of the castle

that his grandfather left in Atlantis,

that city under the ocean.

Stallone didn't go because he couldn't swim.

That was what he told everyone who asked about his parents.

So Stallone came to the Institute

to live with several people like him.

Whom he called...

"Buddies"

Marcio lost his parents early. But, unlike Stallone,

his parents really died.

His sisters took him to the Institute...

and every month they came to visit.

They used to tell him that their parents had turned into angels,

and they were building a house on the Moon

for them to live.

With time, the visits decreased

and they never came back again.

Annie, on the other hand, had a father and mother,

but she never met them.

WE LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD

They said they'd live together only when she got married,

but it had to be with a singer

and on the Day of Saint Jude Thaddaeus.

They were devotees of that saint.

But let's get back to life at the Institute.

Every day, they woke up at 7 AM...

had breakfast at 8 AM...

studied from 9 AM to noon...

and had lunch at 1 PM.

In the afternoon, they took care of the video library.

This was an agreement they made with aunt Esmeralda,

the director of the Institute.

That afternoon, Stallone was watching

one of his favorite movies: "Thelma and Louise".

It's the story of two women who live a great adventure.

Stallone liked that film so much

that he knew all the lines by heart.

That is when he had his great idea.

As usual, on that night,

I locked up the Institute and went to sleep.

Close it! Close it!

"Carpe diem": Seize the day, buddies...

Make something extraordinary out of your lives!

Marcio took care of the keys,

Annie, of the disguises,

- and Stallone, of my car. - Push, but silently!

PSYCHIATRY

- Who killed the woman? - I didn't!

Listen, she was armed, she got up and shot me, OK?

What about the two guys in the room?

They were both armed!

But they didn't shoot you!

Because I was faster, jackass.

They didn't shoot because I shot them first, you stupid.

If I hadn't been fast, you'd be all stressed out,

next to Pedro Alvares Cabral, in the spiritualist center.

What's this about Cabral?

Are you mocking me? Are you?

If it weren't for Cabral

you would still be dressed like an Indian.

Good, good... Really good.

That's what I want.

You have to let it all out.

Now please stand up.

It's time for the hug.

The reconciliation, come on.

Come on!

No, no... That's not a hug.

Well done! Both hands...

Very good... You may separate now.

Let's talk.

Well, you'll spend 30 days under Internal Affairs supervision.

Why?

Because the stress level is too high,

and that's not good for your health.

And it also puts the whole department at risk.

- So, we're grounded? - Grounded? Did anyone say that?

No. I said: "30 days in another department

for therapeutic treatment". That's not grounded.

- In which department? - Missing Persons.

Honey, we're trained to make people disappear,

not to find them.

Well, I'll repeat:

Orders from upstairs. Above our rank.

Thank you.

How will we eat? We have no money!

Well, I'm mr. Green.

You, Annie, are mr. Blue.

And you, man... You're mr. Pink.

- Why am I mr. Pink? - Because you're a faggot, man!

I'm mr. Pink.

Let's put the masks on and eat!

Attention. Attention, all units.

Red Karmanguia with three heavily armed elements

heading south.

Look, the circus! Stop, stop!

Back it up, mr. Green.

Yes, yes, stop there. That's good.

Wow, it's beautiful!

Come on, let's get out of the car.

Come, come!

- Hey, ladies first! - Stop joking.

Hey dude, what about me? Won't you help me?

Wait, damn it!

Hey, handsome!

Is everything OK with you, handsome?

That's a smart dog!

What a nice circus, man!

Look at this...

Guys, come here.

There's a bunch of cool stuff here!

Come...

There's a cape...

A princess dress for you...

A helmet...

A swimsuit.

I'm a princess.

Up and away!

Well, since I'm a genie,

we can have three wishes.

- I want to get married. - I want to fly.

I want to see the ocean.

Hey, handsome, pick a number.

22.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

20, 21, 22.

I'm first.

- Choose another number. - 1000.

1, 2, 10, 20...

30, 40, 1000.

I'm second.

My God...

The three musketeers.

They were also four.

So it's... "One for all and all for one!"

Let me tell you about their dreams:

Stallone's dream was to see the ocean

in order to meet his mother again in Atlantis.

What is this, Stallone?!

Marcio's dream was to fly in order to help

his parents finish building the Moon house.

Jump, jump, jump...

But every time he tried, it never worked.

Annie wanted to marry a singer,

no matter who, as long as they were married

on the Day of Saint Jude Thaddaeus.

I only wanted you to know

that the joy is still with me

and that my warm heart wasn't left on the road

it wasn't stuck in time, on the dust

I only wanted you to know

that this girl is now a woman

and that woman is a girl

that picked her fruit, flower of her kindness

I only wanted to tell

everyone who likes me...

Every composer has it's way of expressing...

Miss, here's the thing:

You're lucky that this month me and my friend

are giving Missing Persons a hand.

Our stuff is usually more violent.

If this tape,

instead of falling on our lap,

had fallen on those press vultures's lap,

they'd already be here with sticks and stones

against these bastards that fled the Institute.

- Bastards? - Oh no?

They're not bastards?

OK, let's see, miss.

Armed robbers of convenience stores, what are they called?

"Troubled"?

"Little angels"?

First of all, here's the thing.

There's no "miss" here. My name's Esmeralda.

Second of all: We're talking about

three teenagers with Down Syndrome.
