Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Eighteen-year-old Mateus (Christian Malheiros) strives to improve his family's livelihood amidst their rural lifestyle in the outskirts of São Paulo. Despite the dangers, Mateus accepts a job from the sinister Luca (Rodrigo Santoro) to labor in a scrap yard, only to discover that Luca's business is merely a front for a high-stakes human trafficking venture. Soon embroiled in the risky affair, Mateus struggles to choose between loyalty to his family and their values or continuing to work for a corrupt employer for the sake of earning a lucrative payout. Directed by Alexandre Moratto.
