Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Caramuru: A Invenção do Brasil was a 2001 Brazilian love comedy based on the poem Caramuru which was inspired in the real-life figure Diogo Alvares Correia. The story portrays Diogo as a young artist who turns to cartography after getting on some nobleman's bad side. When he gets involved with a French courtesan named Isabelle who steals one of his maps, he is arrested and sent as an exile in one of the Portuguese expeditions to India. However, his ship gets wrecked and he ends up on the coast of the lands that would later be known as Brazil and ends up meeting with Tupinambá princess Paraguaçu, whom he falls in love with and later on has other adventures when the European explorers arrive to settle.It was originally aired as an TV documentary in 2000 interlaced with several historical tidbits presented by actor Marco Nanini as the narrator to mark the 500th anniversary of Brazil's discovery by the Portuguese before being released on theaters the year later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Betty and Veronica: Diogo becomes infatuated with two different ladies over the course of the movie in this order: first, the seductive, but backstabbing Lady Isabelle, Marquise de Sevigné and later on, the native princess Paraguaçu. It's easy to figure out who is the Betty and who is the Veronica.

Big Bad Duumvirate: Captain Vasco de Athayde and Lady Isabelle work together to set the movie's plot in motion; the former forces the main protagonist out of his vocation leading him to become a cartographer instead and conspires with the latter to steal a map so he can beat Pedro Alvarez Cabral to his expedition to India. This incidentally leads to Diogo being seduced into handing her over the map and him getting shipped off as an degradado which leads to him ending in Brazil.

comment
Disguised in Drag: In an attempt to return to Portugal while still in course to India, Diego disguises himself as a woman because they are forbidden to sail with the men and they are returned home during the first stop in the Canary Islands. He pulls it off so well with his Pretty Boy appearance that Captain Vasco becomes attracted to "her" and attempts to seduce her.
