Pixote

With a blend of harsh realism and aching humanity, Héctor Babenco’s fully restored by Film Foundation "Pixote" offers an electrifying look at youth fighting to survive on the bottom rung of Brazilian society in the 80s.

Synopsis

The life of a boy on the streets of Sao Paulo who, after escaping a nightmarish reformatory, will resort to a life of violent crime, even as he forms a makeshift family with some fellow outcasts.
