In 2019, Copas Produções Artísticas brings to the Minas Gerais public the setting of one of the greatest children's classics of all time: “O Sítio do Picapau Amarelo”, based on the work by the Brazilian author Monteiro Lobato, considered one of the first and most important authors of children's literature in Brazil, who is always remembered for the educational content of his construction.
What if Time was hijacked and all the clocks in the world stopped? This is what will happen at Sítio do Pica Pau Amarelo. But no problem is so big that it cannot be solved by the smartest doll of all: Emilia. Of course, to help her, the entire Sítio gang will take action. When Doll discovers that Tempo, a very wise man who coordinates clocks around the world, was taken by Cuca and that she is holding him hostage in a small boat in the middle of the sea, it's time to use your Pirlimpimpim magic dust and come up with a foolproof plan to save everyone, because it's impossible to survive if time stops running: Aunt Nastácia's cookies wouldn't come out of the oven; TV shows would always be the same; the hens would no longer lay eggs; Pedrinho and Narizinho would always be in the same grade at school; there would be no more day and night; not even a wind would blow on the balcony… A real chaos!
