"Lisbela and the Prisoner is a romantic comedy and tells the funny story of the rascal, adventurer and conqueror Leléu (Selton Mello) and the dreamy girl Lisbela (Deborah Falabella), who loves to watch American movies and dreams of the heroes of the cinema. Lisbela is engaged and wedding scheduled, when Leléu arrives in town. The couple is enchanted and begins to live a love story full of characters taken from the northeastern scene. Lisbela and Leléu will suffer pressures from the family, the social environment and also with their own doubts and hesitations. But in a final twist, full of bravery and humor, they follow their destinies. As Lisbela herself says, the grace is not to know what happens. It’s knowing how it happens. When it happens. And then... just watching the movie."
