DESCRIPTION:About the Film\nThis poignant drama is the tale of two men from opposite 
 sides of the tracks: white, middle-class Miguel and black, favela-dweller 
 Jorge meet as boys through their fathers’ shared passion for music. Their 
 friendship is renewed during a lengthy incarceration in the 1970s. And they 
 meet again in contemporary Rio, when Miguel, a government official, visits 
 Jorge, an imprisoned drug lord. Director Lúcia Murat weaves their story 
 against 50 years of political and social upheaval in Brazil, offering a 
 perspective on the lowest rung of society and observing that these men have 
 more in common than they ever realized.\n\nIn Portuguese with English 
 subtitles.\nWriters: Paulo Lins, Lúcia Murat. Director: Lúcia Murat.
