Zizo, a radical and anarchist poet living in a marginal quarter of Recife in the north eastern state of Pernambuco, distributes his social angst-filled thoughts through a publication named Febre do Rato, and spews poetry to anyone who’d listen. Our character always revolves within the universe that he has created around himself. A very particular world, in which satisfying the unfortunate is a mixture of a kind of benefit with high dose of malice.

During the slavery period in Brazil, a sugar cane farm was the stage for the darkest kinds of horrors. Years later, the place's cruel past is still stained in its walls, even if unnoticed, until a series of strange events starts happening and death returns to the farm.

Brésil, 1978. La dictature militaire qui est encore en place, commence à montrer des signes d’épuisement. Dans un petit cabaret de banlieue, une troupe d’artistes provoque le pouvoir et la morale établis, à travers leurs spectacles excentriques et performances publiques où débauche, nudité et anarchie sont les symboles de leur lutte acharnée. Quand Fininha, un jeune militaire rencontre Clécio, le leader de la troupe, c’est le coup de foudre immédiat. Seulement Fininha est vite confronté à sa propre conscience : comment faire pour aimer un homme se battant contre l’ordre moral que ses compagnons militaires, et lui-même, doivent faire respecter en menant une répression sans faille.

A downtown square in a Brazilian city is the central stage for a series of close observations of one of the prostitutes working the streets. Apart from their mutual understanding, these women's lives seem doomed to pass by unnoticed. Filmed with cool reserve, Raw leaves the viewer with a sense of poignancy.

A road accident says a lot about humanity.
