Plot

Four candidates for a federal judge position embark on a madcap, no-holds-barred race to outdo one another, each committing his own brand of mayhem.

On the final test of a public tender for federal judge in Rio de Janeiro, the four finalists lawyers come from bizarre way: the gaucho Rogério Carlos (Fábio Porchat) comes surrounded woman dressed transvestites, the São Paulo Rezende (Rodrigo Pandolfo) ragamuffin on a motorcycle driven by attractive Martinha (Sabrina Sato), Caio Rio (Danton Mello) appears in a vehicle which falls handcuffed and escorted, and the Ceará Freitas (Anderson Di Rizzi) appears in an ambulance next to his pregnant wife Mariana (Carol Castro), entering the hall on a stretcher pushed by candomblé practitioners. The film then returns to a week before showing the quartet meeting and engaging in various confusions as they prepare for the race.
