Plot
A lifeguard leaves Brazil for Berlin.
Sinekatalog’s take
Karim Aïnouz's drama follows a Brazilian lifeguard who leaves for Berlin after failing to save a swimmer and falling for a German. Slow and sensual, with Wagner Moura, it is a moody tale of exile and desire.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
