"As important to Latin American cinema as [Jean-Luc Godard´s] Breathless is to European film." —Toronto International Film Festival
Directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos
Shot over the course of two years, Nelson Pereira dos Santos' first feature follows the trajectories of multiple characters who live in Rio's favelas—a band of young peanut sellers, a couple in love, a hood out for revenge—as their lives intersect across the city over the course of a single Sunday. Dynamic compositions and powerful montage capture the striking contrasts of class and race that shape their lives.
