In his ninth full-length feature, Hector Babenco creates a loyal adaptation of the book Carandiru Station by Drauzio Varella. The film follows the point of view of a doctor who makes regular visits to the S„o Paulo Penitentiary and hears hundreds of prisonersí stories, about love and passion, crime and friendship. He is also the witness of the survivors of the 1992 massacre that left 111 people dead. |
