A human being is stomach and sex

Drama

In a poor neighborhood in Recife, the lives of exotic and bizarre characters entwine in a bar and in a very low-budget hotel. The queer Dunga works in the hotel and has a crush on the butcher Wellington that is married with the religious Kika and has an affair with his mistress Dayse. The sick necrophiliac Isaac owns a yellow Mercedes Benz and wants to have sex with Lígia that owns of Bar Avenida.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at lives tangled in desperation and desire. It’s a humid, sticky immersion into a world where loneliness festers and obsessions bloom in the shadows of a forgotten city.
