Film Information

For his first fiction feature, film-critic-turned-director Kleber Mendonça Filho delivers a densely textured panorama of nouveau-riche life in his hometown. The non-stop accumulation of detail demands close attention, and the ultimate revelation of the layers of history and social change underpinning the storylines provides plenty for the audience to chew over.

On a quiet city block in the coastal city of Recife, ruled by an aging patriarch and his sons, a recent spate of petty crime has rattled the nerves of the well-to-do residents. When a mysterious security firm is brought in to watch over the neighborhood, it sparks the fears and anxieties of a divided society still haunted by its past.

Reviews
"That Filho can juggle so many important issues without being heavy handed or dropping even one speaks volumes about his strengths as scripter, helmer and co-editor." –Variety
