Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Fortaleza, Brazil, the film exemplifies the 'Cinema de Rua' movement — guerrilla filmmaking using actual public spaces without permits.
The two blows of the title reference both physical violence and the 'golpes' (political coups) that haunted Brazil in 2016 — the year of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment.
