Starting Description
Sozinhas em cidades distintas e sem se conhecerem, vão encarando dificuldades em ser felizes. Com problemas nos trabalhos vão levando a vida. A primeira de muitas caixas sem remetente é enviada para cada. Para espanto delas, contém um telefone de pano que, além de falar, diz coisas surpreendentes.
Ending Description
Pedirem demissão é o passo para a nova etapa: tomam conhecimento da existência uma da outra, entendem o porquê dos nomes parecidos, descobrem a origem das caixas e, finalmente, compreendem o porquê daqueles lindos e encantadores narizinhos vermelhos que nem de palhaças.
Pitch Adaptation
Em 2015 assisti o Show da trupe do Palhaço russo Slavas. Toda aquela magia, aquele maravilhoso universo simbólico que liberta a imaginação da criança e do adulto, foi a mola mestra para que eu desse o passo esperado para escrever mais um livro infantojuvenil. E o livro Narizalde e Narizelda, então, nasceu imbuído do espírito circense. Já que a literatura infantojuvenil é o berço do cinema infantojuvenil não tinha como não despertar em mim o desejo de levar para a tela toda esta fantasia. Muito efeito especial transportando para a tela toda a magia que envolve as duas personagens. Muita cor! Muita alegria!

What’s New About the Story
The original thing about this story is the freedom the author found to mix up fantasy features along with real life characters. Also, the message about joy and respect to individuality when it comes to dealing with children is modern and captivating.
Lead Characters
Narizelda and Narizalda both have an uncommon feature: a red nose, but they also share a big heart and slowly become unafraid to create a joyful environment around them.
Uniqueness of Story
It could be improved in terms of writing, more specifically in terms of lines and eliminating unnecessary description.

Analyst Recommendation
CONSIDER
Justification
Even though there are elements to be improved, narrative has a great message and a good story-arc.
Brief
Narizalda and Narizelda are two women that don't know each other, but they have something in common other than a red nose: they bring joy to the children they work with. With the help of Pipoca and friends, they will find their true selves and finally meet.
What We Liked
The audience would enjoy this story because of its candid and universal message about the importance of joy and how taking ourselves too seriously may drive us away from our true essence. Also, this provides a welcome refresh to the clowns theme, which is currently more associated with horror movies.
This would be a great adaptation for animation due to the highly descriptive scenarios, costumes and fantastic magical elements. It would also work as feature movie or series as well because there is a message of joy and search for meaning that goes beyond children's universe.
Key points: Magical elements; intriguing protagonists; mystery; joyful ending; unusual storyline.
Synopsis
Narizalda, a teacher, has breakfast at her humble home. On the other side, Narizelda, a doctor, has breakfast at her fancy house. Both look alike and they have red noses.
Narizelda and Narizalda go to their works, and when they come back, they receive a package with a phone, in which they talk to the mysterious "the other". "The other" tells them what to do with other elements that will eventually arrive at their houses.
Such magical elements begin to change them and their relations with the children they work with for the better - in school or in the hospital. Two children require special attention: Luna, a shy and quiet student; and Lucas, a sad boy dealing with cancer.
The changes and the joy they bring bother Prof. Neide and Dr. Rogério, causing Narizalda and Narizelda to be fired from their jobs.
This is when both receive a plane ticket and hotel reservations. When they arrive at the airport, they meet and realize how much they look like each other.
Arriving at the hotel, they receive a letter from Pipoca and her friends explaining why they sent them the elements: that they are twins, and were sent to adoption when their parents, both clowns, died in the fire of Circus Viramundo.
They live happily ever after as clown sisters - Lucas is cured and Luna becomes a TV host.
