Três Vagabundos(1952)

Três Vagabundos is a Brazilian comedy that follows a scientist whose experimental mind-swap procedure goes hilariously wrong. When he accidentally exchanges the consciousness of a wealthy banker with that of a simpleton, chaos erupts. The banker finds himself trapped in an intellectually limited body, while his unlikely counterpart gains access to fortune and power he never imagined. As both men navigate their swapped lives, they're forced to confront their own assumptions about intelligence, worth, and what truly matters. The film mines comedy from the clash of class and circumstance, exploring how quickly privilege can vanish and how resourcefulness transcends education. With mistaken identities and escalating misunderstandings, Três Vagabundos delivers slapstick humor alongside surprisingly sharp social commentary about the nature of success and human value.
