Amores possíveis

"Amores possíveis" is a charming Brazilian film. It opens with Carlos, played by Murilio Benicio, waiting for a date at a cinema, but she does not show up. She is Julia, played by Carolina Ferraz. There are three possible outcomes that are presented in intertwining stories. Pedro, played by Emilio de Mello, is a part of all three stories. In one of these Carlos is a successful lawyer, and Pedro is his partner. Carlos is married, but he does not seem to be completely happy in the marriage. He encounters Julia in an art gallery fifteen years after she failed to show up at the cinema. He still loves her. In the second story Carlos had married Julia, but after being with her for maybe twelve years he leaves her to be with Pedro. Julia, in the beginning barely speaks to Carlos. She is not nice at all to Pedro. She is still hurting from the lost relationship with Carlos. Carlos tries to have a friendship with her. He still loves both Julia and Pedro, but the stronger love is for Pedro. In the third story Carlos is living with his mother. He has dates many women, but there he always seems to find a reason to end the relationship. He uses a dating service in hopes to find his soulmate. Pedro is a gay man in this story. He works with Carlos. Through the dating service he meets Julia. She is an eccentric artist who has travelled around the world. She likes her sex a bit kinky. Carlos finds her a bit wild, and he wonders if the service had made a mistake. This is another film that I could watch multiple times.
