Plot
Nina is an elderly woman who lives alone and feels distressed by the increasing violence in her neighborhood. Amidst conflicts with her neighbors, she decides to film the movement of drug traffickers from her window, hoping to assist the police. After months of recording suspicious activities, her initiative attracts the attention of a journalist, who approaches Nina and offers to support her in her mission.
Sinekatalog’s take
An elderly woman films drug traffickers from her window to help the police, drawing a journalist's attention. The Brazilian crime drama is tense and humane, based on a real story. A smart, suspenseful film for fans of everyday-hero thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
