Buscapé is a poor, black and very sensitive young man who grows up in a universe of violence. He lives in Cidade de Deus, a Rio de Janeiro favela known for being one of the most violent places in the city. Frightened by the possibility of becoming a bandit, he ends up being saved from his fate because of his talent as a photographer, which allows him to pursue a career. It's through his work behind the camera that Buscapé analyzes the day-to-day life of the favela where he lives, where violence appears to be infinite.

Based on the book by Paulo Lins.
