    Heartfelt, Intimate and beautifully shot in a favela in Rio

    Paxton Winter masterfully shows the real life of real people who live in the favelas in Rio. The story telling is heartfelt and Paxton focused in it rather than in the violence, which is the center of movies about favelas in Rio. The film gets even more interesting as we follow the amazing performance of Tati, the teenager who is the main character of the movie. A must see.

    Master piece from Paxton Winters

    This fantastic movie is made with very big hearts, courage, love and hope. The truth as it is, between gross and fine, poetry, guns, drugs, spirituality, psychology, botanics, ancient wisdom, politics, sexuality, philosophy...Watch out this director!

    An amazing journey into the wild reality

    Created from a deep experience in that world. Highly recommended in many ways.
