"Insistently quirky."--Newsday
Fresh from his success in the art-house hit Madame Sata, Lazaro Ramos delivers a subtle and unique performance in The Man Who Copied, a sweetly quirky work that tells a story of love, art, robbery and photocopying. Andr (Ramos) is a bored copy machine operator who leaves work every night to return home and draw comic book art; there his artistic fantasies transport him to a perfect world with a beautiful wife and lots of money. He also peeps out his bedroom window into the home of Slvia (Leandra Leal), an 18-year-old clothing store salesgirl who lives with her father.
