Dans une favela qui a vu le jour à Rio de Janeiro dans les années soixante, Fusée est un gamin noir, pauvre, trop fragile pour devenir hors-la-loi, mais assez malin pour ne pas se contenter d'un travail sous payé. Il grandit dans un environnement violent, mais tente de voir la réalité autrement, avec l'œil d'un artiste. Il rêve de devenir photographe professionnel. Petit Dé, un enfant de onze ans, emménage dans la Cité. Il souhaite pour sa part devenir le plus grand criminel de Rio et commence son apprentissage en rendant de menus services à la pègre locale. Il admire Tignasse et son gang, qui arraisonnent les camions et cambriolent à tout va. Tignasse donne à Petit Dé l'occasion de commettre un meurtre, le premier d'une longue série…

The life of Paulo, a doorman.

After a shooting assignment, Henrique is mugged by two armed motor-bikers who steal his camera and speed off. Seconds later, he watches both get hit by a pickup truck driven by a self-appointed avenger, someone weary of feeling defenseless against the urban violence, and who decided to take action. Henrique recovers his stolen equipment and leaves, feeling avenged. But he goes back to find the memory card, with the photos, lost during the crash. From that moment, he is trapped in a situation where he is now the criminal for failing to rescue a victim, who had been his aggressor. Going from the murder scene to the police station, and then to the emergency ward of the public hospital, he attempts to clear himself.

Osso experiences three major dilemmas in his life: at the same time as he dreams of being successful in a band made up of unstable and immature young people, he also seeks to get closer to his parents and rebuild a relationship.
