Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs teenagers Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha) have become close as brothers.

With their eighteenth birthdays fast approaching Laranjinha sets out to find the father he never met while Acerola struggles to raise his own young son.

I am looking forward to this movie, given the great movies out of Brazil and/or on Brazil, like City of God,Bus 174, Amores Perros,or the Crime of Padre Amero, among others supspect this movie may be similiar in Nature to Favela Rising as I tend to watch anything from or about that region they come with a totally different perspective in terms of what to expect from a film.
