**Might have some SPOILERS around here.**
Despite all those social problems, faced by society around 70's Brazil dictatorship, the movie shows one of the most infamous stories of our criminal society, here in Sao Paulo. It tells the tragedy life of a boy around 18y/o who joined the crime life around 9 years old. His mom (free, but tired) and brothers (all convicts) do their testimonials about Lucio's life, full of robberies, murders and thefts.
His mom protects him, telling he's obedient and kind. Otherwise some of the interviewers replied he was dangerous and shy, but good only with known people. Some of them seems to point at his childhood creation by his mom, without suitable care, the lack of welfare may led him to face the streets to find the best way to his success. He's just one of that poor guys who wanted to be a rich one, enjoying fancy clothes and good cars by stealing or killing to get this new lifestyle.
Talking about poverty in the mid 70's Sao Paulo, this is a common story (well told, I think this way) about a fearless guy who didn't have anything to lose, except his life. And I can surely tell you. Here we had the same with some other famous thieves, like Lucio Flávio and "O Bandido da Luz Vermelha"
Looks like a small documentary. Worth watching as a documentary if you're interested in social matters involving Brazil or Sao Paulo around 70's.
