A film on many things during military dictatorship

A film on Brazilian military dictatorship, youth, generational differences, and the rise of drug traffic. The film has nice elements, scenes, characters, moments. If the script were more solid, with a more structured connection between its parts, it would be as good as it could have been. It is an interesting film, anyway. Besides that, it is also an important one for that moment, still under autoritarian rule. Several activists who have been murdered by the agents of dictatorship have been mentioned in the movie, what is also very nice. I cannot help but finish this review mentioning that Malu Mader was extremely beautiful!
