Hi Túlio,

The code challenge isn't handling a few character that you have in your input prompt. Particuarly, ê and ç.

If you take those out it will pass.

Also, it's not a problem for the challenge but you should stick to consistent indentation levels to make your code more readable. sys.exit() is indented more than the print statement.

Hi there Túlio.

Your code is correct. After some trial and error in the challenge, i found out that it is the non-English characters in your input question that is causing the "Bummer" for some reason. If you change that out to something simple like Movie?, it will pass.

Sorry, I don't know why it should matter, but it seems to.

Keep Coding! :)
