What Is It Worth?
A poor in the hand is worth two in the theft
Directed by Sérgio Bianchi
Produced by Agravo Produções Cinematográficas
A morally complex historical drama that juxtaposes slavery-era Brazil with contemporary society to interrogate cycles of exploitation and moral compromise.
Free adaptation of Machado de Assis's short story "Pai Contra Mãe", having some of Nireu Cavalcanti's 18th Century chronicles as inspiration, the film traces parallels between life in during the slavery period and in modern Brazil.
