Film can be watched in the public cinema network of the City Hall of São Paulo: 26 CEUs, Centro de Formação Cultural Cidade Tiradentes and Biblioteca Roberto Santos

Special programming will make available over 250 screenings across all regions of the capital

São Paulo, October 2026 – The City Hall of São Paulo, through Spcine and the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy, announces the arrival of the film "Minha Melhor Amiga" (My Best Friend) to Circuito Spcine, in a week of free screenings or for up to $4 in 28 public cinema screens spread across all regions of the city of São Paulo. Screenings take place in 26 CEUs, at Biblioteca Roberto Santos and at Centro de Formação Cultural Cidade Tiradentes, which make up the City Hall's public cinema circuit. Times vary according to the schedule of each facility and can be checked at circuitospcine.com.br.

The film directed by Susana Garcia is a public record-breaker and has already brought more than 5.81 million spectators to cinema halls, surpassing "Ainda Estou Aqui" (I'm Still Here) and becoming the biggest national hit of the decade. Starring Ingrid Guimarães and Mônica Martelli, the comedy has remained among the most watched titles in the country for seven weeks.

Shot in Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon and Seville, "Minha Melhor Amiga" (My Best Friend) is inspired by the duo's experiences with their teenage daughters, Julia and Clara, who actually give their names to the protagonists. Long-time friends, Ingrid and Mônica conquered the internet by sharing hilarious situations and scrapes they went through during holidays with the girls in Europe, and the chemistry was so good that they didn't stop traveling together anymore. In the plot, best friends Julia (Mônica) and Clara (Ingrid) are at a difficult phase, at the height of 50 years of age. Julia is a divorced journalist who no longer believes in love and doesn't feel professionally valued. Meanwhile, Clara lives a marriage in crisis and a frustrating routine at home taking care of her husband, mother-in-law and stepson, and at work as a real estate agent that no longer presents any challenge for her. Their daughters, Manu (Giulia Benite) and Isadora (Gabi Amaral), 16 years old, are going on a student exchange programme in Portugal and, for the first time, living away from their mothers. They then decide to put an end to their drab life and embark together for Portugal. When they arrive on European soil, not everything goes as planned and they will intensely live the best holiday of their lives in a transformative journey.

Starting on 29 November, the population of São Paulo will be able to watch this great work at Circuito Spcine — the City Hall's public cinema network, which brings the cinematographic experience to the entire city with screens equipped with cutting-edge technology in free screenings or for up to $4 reais.

By bringing the highest-grossing national film of the decade to the city's outskirts, the City Hall of São Paulo, the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy and Spcine reinforce their commitment to the democratization of the cinema experience and audience development.

The feature film runs between 29 October and 18 November at Biblioteca Roberto Santos, at Centro de Formação Cultural Cidade Tiradentes and at CEUs Aricanduva, Barro Branco, Butantã, Caminho do Mar, Carrão, Feitiço da Vila, Freguesia do Ó, Jaçanã, Jambeiro, Meninos, Parque do Carmo, Parque Novo Mundo, Parque Veredas, Paz, Perus, Pinheirinho, Quinta do Sol, São Miguel, São Pedro, São Rafael, Taipas, Tremembé, Três Lagos, Vila Alpina, Vila Atlântica and Vila do Sol.
