Watchlist:
This is the story of Vicente, a successful, married, economist with a nine-year-old son. It also tells the story of Antônio, the same man, living as a hugadores—one of the homeless, trash scavengers who live and work in Brazil’s enormous garbage dumps. Vicente seems to have it all, but as we watch his life begins to crumble little by little. Meanwhile, Antônio, already at rock bottom, struggles to rebuild his life.
Why you might like this:
Between Valleys, directed by Philippe Barcinski in 2012, offers a compelling dual narrative that explores the stark contrasts between the life of a successful economist and his alter ego as a homeless trash scavenger. This thought-provoking blend of drama and social commentary is elevated by the strong performances of the lead actors, including Ângelo Antônio, making it a must-see for fans of character-driven stories that challenge perceptions.
