the story take place on the street of sao paoulo in brazil where a young boy name pixote grow up alone without his parent . leave troubled and with no direction and pixote get take into a child asylum with other adolescent from the street . behind closed door terrible thing occurs within the staff and within the child group . and there be one last trigger that get the place blow up and the last incident that make pixote and his friend decide to break out and escape . from there on begin a journey overwhelm with strong bond friendship and friendship tear apart and love and hate and criminal activity and simply chill on the beach talk about thing and something someone like you and i also do sometimes . i think this film be perfect in so many way because it touch you on so many level and it do that with me anyway . the document like style use to portray pixote and his surroundings do it seem more realistic and and the actor and who really be street child and have live similar life and help the humanity in the condition seem more natural . it have a social comment about child abuse too and but i think what make the film so great be that the pressure be on the story and not on the political view . the last scene and which i find the best piece from the film and strike me a something beyond nothing i have see before . so full of emotion and yet so unsentimental make this film a truthful and believable and unbearable and unforgettable story tale . a true heartbreaking masterpiece which be so underrated . my vote represent positive .
