Once Upon A Time In Rio

First Time On Australian TV!
Saturday 25th December @ 8:30pm, The WORLD MOVIES Channel

"One of the best films I have seen (at the Toronto Film Festival) and the only one that caused a lump in my throat as I left the theatre."
- JAMES BERARDINELLI REEL VIEWS

From acclaimed Brazilian director Breno Silveria comes Once Upon A Time In Rio, an epic tale about two star crossed lovers living on opposite ends of Rio de Janiero's two-tiered society.

The Cantalago slum in Rio de Janiero overlooks the stunning Ipanema beach. Every day, Cantalago's residents become part of the invisible class that clean Ipanema's apartments, waits on restaurant tables or serves passer-by's. Cantalago resident De works as a hot dog vendor at one of the stalls in Ipanema. When he meets Nina, the only child of a wealthy lawyer, they fall in love. As their romance intensifies, they realise that society is dead set against them every achieving any measure of true happiness together.

When De's reckless older brother Carlos kidnaps Nina to exploit her rich father, De is caught between his love for Nina and the fraternal bonds he shares with Carlos. His attempt to rescue Nina goes awry when he is pinned as the culprit for the kidnapping by Nina's distraught father.
