Cocada and Nego are two boys in their early teens living in a small town in Pernambouc, Brazil.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Because We Were Born is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A 2009 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
