Theo is a successful doctor in the wealthy suburbs of São Paulo. Having always
placed his job before his family, he is a failure as both a father and husband. But
when his 15-year-old son disappears, selling all of his belongings and leaving town
on a newly acquired black stallion, Theo goes to great lengths not only to find his
son, but to rediscover himself. Rambling through the São Paulo nightscape, from
shiny new suburbs to shantytown slums, first-time director Luciano Moura makes
every peregrination and random encounter a fresh adventure in this quirky crowd pleaser
produced by City of God director Fernando Meirelles and headlined by Brazilian screen superstar Wagner Mour.
