Somwhere in the city of Porto Alegre, a man who has lost his memory is questioned by a group of police officers about the barbaric murder of a socialite. Without recognizing himself in the documents he carries in his pocket, he wanders through the underworlds of the city in search of an answer.

Peréio's hollow-eyed confusion never lets you trust a single frame.
Director
Gilberto Loureiro
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Brazil's 1980s 'cinema marginal' movement, embracing exploitation aesthetics to critique military dictatorship's social rot. The TMDB 2.0 rating is criminal—this is practically unknown even in Brazil.
Director Gilberto Loureiro made only two features; this was his last. The film's obscurity is so complete that even festival prints barely exist.
