Opens on a chicken which escapes the slaughter, and a group of young violent criminals chases it down, through the slum... the chicken leads the band of gangsters to the one character in the film trying to escape the violence of the slums by choosing to become a photographer. He decides to shoot pictures rather than guns.
Impressive screenplay, direction and acting, especially considering the kids really come from the slums of Rio. Cinematography is masterful.
