letreiro
In screenwriting, SUPER is short for superimpose, the laying of words or image over another image. In good old Portuguese, "letreiro". See:

Super
Personally, I would just leave it and not translate it. However, it does seem to be a person's name because it mentions Child and Super. And my gut feeling is that it's a person's name.

It is also capitalized so could be a name and I just remembered that super is short for Superintendent (the person who takes care of a property, building and grounds) the equilvalent here in Portugal would be Porteira(o) but they do much less than a Super.

Elisabete Cunha
: Yes. I think it's the name of a character and therefore shouldn't be translated.

Cristine Martin
: Pode ser um nome de personagem (sugiro deixar sem tradução e esperar se, mais adiante, aparecerá uma explicação no roteiro). Mas Superintendente parece uma possibilidade viável.
