SYNOPSIS

 

Northeastern teenager João Caraíba, who recently arrived in Baixada Fluminense, becomes a busboy at a restaurant run by his brother Luís. When he finds himself exposed to xenophobia, João gets into a fight and ends up being attacked by Luís. Taking advantage of the guilt that takes over his older brother’s mind, João begins to manipulate him. Together, they devise a plan to extinguish the oppressive environment that has given rise to it all.
