This is Brazilian serial killer thriller that doesnt at all use the amazing beauty or overwhelming settings that country has on any given day. Fair enough its not a travel guide, but this wasn't as flavourful as much of the cinema from Rio and everything around it, usually has.
We meet David at school. I'm guessing its high school because bullying is done with impunity and a teacher only steps in when David, the victim fights back. The bully says "You're dead" in front of the teacher and I thought those words may come back to turn it into a hint. But this film dissapoints with its every quiet sleepy dialogue and brief encounters with women and men.
David is a sexual voyeur. A video camera enthusiast instead of cellphones. Though if he is trying create mementos of his "activities" a good Apple cellphone would be more convenient. There is violence First a bird ( because THEY HAVE TO SHOW AN ANIMAL BE KILLED IN EVERY DARN HORROR FILM. Coldly or cruelly. At least it was kinda making a point with 2 characters bonding over the idea of death as freedom but its such a predictable moldy hackneyed mo ie trope its stupid at this point. Of course a killed fake animal is part of serial killers evolution. But we don't need to see dogs or cats etc BEING MURDERED. OK sorry....😑
So then we see David goes on dark websites His minder mother or aunt takes care of the cooking & cleaning. You wonder how mucb she knows about David's extra-curricular behaviour and by the time the movies ending I realized I didnt care. Save your time on this planet for a better film.
