6.1 / 10 · TMDB

Ezequiel is a martial arts master in capoeira and loves teaching. But when his boss's son becomes the new head of the school, he resigns in frustration. Without a job, he now faces a real problem, because as a dark-skinned immigrant with no education, it will be very difficult to get a job again. Out of necessity, he ends up working for small business owner Reynaldo and his colleague Jason, cleaning antique public urinals at night. Ezequiel is so ashamed of his new job that he doesn't want to tell his wife Marta or his son Stevie. Ezequiel actually wants his son to have a proper, academic education, which will open all doors for him later on. But then he reveals to his father that he would rather become a hairdresser than study.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a narrative on the clash between the spiritual grace of capoeira and the gritty reality of menial labor, using this contrast to explore fatherhood, dignity, and the generational gaps within immigrant families. The film relies on nuanced performances, where the protagonist's silent pride speaks volumes.

What lingers after the credits is a surprisingly warm and humane comedy that sidesteps easy answers, offering instead a thoughtful look at the compromises made for loved ones. It’s a story that resonates with quiet truth. — MovieFinder Editorial
