Plot
A film about construction workers in Brazil.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ruy Guerra's drama follows construction workers in Brazil as an accident reveals exploitation and class tension. Raw, political and formally bold, it is an angry, ambitious Cinema Novo film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
