Why watch this film?
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, anxieties and centuries-old grievances of a divided society still haunted by its past.
"A movie about sound, but also about our complacencies and the current Brazilian middle class. In the end, we haven't changed much since the days of coronelismo. It is directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, the same director of 'Aquarius' and 'Bacurau'."
