In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime.

A detective with an unusual gift, a lady who wants to find out who murdered her and a beautiful young woman looking for her missing mother. An engaging plot, with lots of romance, humor, mystery and great discoveries.

With executive production by Fernando Meirelles and direction by Fred Luz, actors Alexandre Rodrigues and Edson Oliveira are Buscapé and Barbantinho, two friends who meet again in today's City of God: bigger, more diverse and connected.

Vidigal Hill, 1977. A runaway group of bandits engage in a complex love triangle in the brink of the news that the corrupt Rio de Janeiro mayor decided to make everyone move out of Vidigal, aided by police forces.

The film shows the resistance movement of the residents of Favela do Vidigal against the removal order, an important chapter in the history of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s.
