Synopsis

Joana, 15 y.o., and Eduardo, 20 y.o., are the children of the only black family of the Golden Village Condominium. Carlos and Wanda were born in the ghetto, have risen economically and are trying to fit in the white standards that are now in their circle. Joana is facing problems at school, she is getting bad grades and is very frail. Her parents take the kids to their old neighborhood, where their family still lives, to spend their vacation. Eduardo, in his brand new car, is stopped by the police along with his cousins, who are taken into custody, arrested for a crime they didn’t commit. Joana, with her cousins, will transform her own journey. She and her brother will rediscover their identities through violence and beauty.
