Lower City
In the poorer part of Brazilian coastal town, Salvador de Bahia, two friends make a living running goods up and down the river. But their brotherly bond is threatened when they meet sultry prostitute Karrina, who offers them sexual favours in return for passage on their boat. At first it seems like the ultimate fantasy, but inevitably jealousy rears its head and by the time they reach their destination the two young men are both smitten and drift apart into the smoky neon-lit underworld that Karinna inhabits. 'CIty of God' meets 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' in this sexually-charged drama from first-time director Sergio Machado.
