Netflix’s “Someone Borrowed” or “Esposa de Aluguel” Directed by Cris D’Amato, is a Brazilian romantic comedy that revolves around Luiz, a fun-loving and carefree bachelor who believes in living life to the fullest. However, when he learns that his mother is dying soon, and in order not to be left out of her will, he must fulfill her last wish — to marry. Because he is maladjusted and stubborn, he hires actress Lina to pretend to be his fiancee.
In this way, Luiz can appear as a dutiful son in the eyes of his dying mother and still lead the same old life he is used to. Fun performances from a talented cast including Caio Castro, Thati Lopes, Patricia Travassos, and Danielle Winits make the narrative all the more entertaining. In addition, the interesting use of locations makes one wonder where “Someone Borrowed” was filmed.
