The Abajour
"O Abajour" is the story of Guilherme (played by Alex Reis). A young man that attains an enviable lifestyle... He lives in a sophisticated apartment in Leblon, an exclusive neighborhood in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, dates the daughter of a prestigious lawyer in the "carioca" high society. Guilherme enjoys the finer things in life, the best clothes, nightclubs, and is known by everyone as a "nice guy". But behind all these qualities lies a secret that can cost him everything.
Guilherme makes a living as an "abajour" (lit. a "lamp" which is a term used for a kind of informer for the corrupt police in Rio de Janeiro) and he finds out his childhood friend and drug-addict Murilo (played by Daniel Bouzas) owes a large amount of money to a dangerous loan shark named Moby (played by Daniel Braga).
Resisting at first, Guilherme ends up feeling moved by the plight of his friend and decides to help him. From that point they strike out to find a solution, but they have little time and many obstacles to surpass.
All of this might go very wrong and the two friends may be in much more trouble than they suspect.
