-Brazil, São Paulo slum, 2024- **The camera pans over the favela to the highest hill. Inside a brick house, the boss of "Reis da maconha" stands. He is dangerous, trafficking marijuana and more. His crew: Daniel (16, addict), Pablo (45, stoic), Vinícius (23, womanizer), João (34, shy), Diego (27, psychopath).** *The room holds a fake marble table, old TV, and a painting of Jesus. The bedroom door is shut; Vinícius’s loud noises echo. Pablo scrolls his phone, Daniel sleeps in a chair, while João and Diego laugh together.*
