Beautiful story with some plot problems
The movie is filmed in the countryside of Brazil and also in the capital, Brasília. The story is about a 12 year old boy, Nando, who is played by an first-timer Davi Galeano, that couldn't make a good acting. In other hand, the girl who acts as his colleague, Iara, Maju Souza, is also a first-timer but does an excellent job. There are some things that I didn't like in the movie. The first is the presence of a narrator, who sometimes tells us something we could understand only by watching the movie. The need for explaining things is, maybe, a trace from the Brazilian television dramarturgy. The other problem is the soldier, that in the year of the plot, were semi-illiterates, many of them could barely read. But in the movie the soldier knows about communism and socialism. It is very unlikely. The good points are the images filmed in the early years of Brasilia (my city) who are well placed throughout the movie. It is also a very nice production for the budget and the other actors are very well. In summary, it is a beautiful story but the script still had some problems that difficult one's immersion in the plot.
