Juninho, Menor, Neguinho, Adilson and Eldo are young dwellers of Nacional’s neighborhood, Contagem’s suburbs. Divided between work and fun, crime and hope, each one of them will have to find ways to overcome the obstacles and tame the tiger they bring inside their veins.
Affonso Uchôa’s (Araby) debut film is a calling card for one of cinema’s finest talents, capturing the hardships of life with a gentle gaze. Casting non-actors from his Brazilian hometown, Uchôa’s strong, social-realist narrative finds beauty in the everyday while remaining politically fierce.
