A suspenseful, bold and interesting portrayal of urban life in today’s Brazil. When a private security firm comes to the middle class area of the Brazilian city of Recife, life takes an unexpected turn. Although the company workers provide a sense of safety, the self-made neighborhood not used to being afraid of anyone leads to a feeling of angst. The film received the FIPRESCI award at the 2012 Rotterdam Film Festival.
