Overview
The adventures of a gang of thieves and murderers led by violent Caveirinha. A radical disruption proposal from the postulates of the Cinema Novo, a film with a loose narrative structure. Through the actions of a group of outlaws, the director sews in scenes that propose iconoclasm and elation as forms of opposition to the military dictatorship oppression.
