A beautiful Franco-Brazilian production, a thriller that goes to the heart of the prejudice and difficulties of immigrants in big cities, in a somewhat different plot, but super pleasant to follow... dimples, when he doesn't like it he puts his hand on the cheese and says - go away." God, what a sad legend for my dimple in my chin...

An African / Brazilian drama. It's about a boy who travels from Africa to Brazil in search of his older brother because they don't know anything about him, so that he returns home to be the leader of the family, but it turns out that nothing the brother said was entirely true . A film from the Berlin festival selection. Parsimonious. Quality. At times infuriating for not knowing where the brother is. An interesting metaphor about freedom. How much of what others tell us they are really true? This movie magnificently explores that. This movie is not for everyone, you have to like festival movies. It shows broad features of African culture and how it collides with a new continent.

An intriguing multilingual journey into the world of family expectations driving people to question existence. As a polyglot, I enjoyed the vivid usage of Igbo, Portuguese, Hungarian, Chinese and Arabic in this film.
