MovieMail's ReviewAn early work from Walter Salles (who would go on to make the modern classics The Motorcycle Diaries and Central Station), this film noir plays cleverly with convention, creating an unusual and fresh picture. The unhurried start follows the difficult lives of two marginalised individuals, both of whom have been affected by the bleak prospects offered by the new Brazilian government of Fernando Collor; Alex has left Sao Paulo to work as a waitress in Portugal, whilst the mother of Paco dies of a heart attack when she discovers her savings have been frozen. When Paco agrees to smuggle diamonds into Portugal to get out of Brazil, the disparate pair cross paths, with explosive results.
