The work is inspired by Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night", and the whole narrative is built around the festivities of the Folia de Reis and an unexpected love born of this tradition.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
