Anything billed as a companion piece(via the TV series) to City of God has a lot to live up to. Although many of the same people are involved, and the film has the same visceral look, and many of the same elements - the Rio slums, young men with guns, drugs, and little chance in life - this takes a different, but equally compelling approach. It follows the fate of two best friends, both about to turn 18, Ace is trying to raise a son while Wallace is desperate to find his long-lost father. When gang warfare breaks out and past secrets surface their friendship is sorely tested.

Golwg gignoeth ar fywydau yn slymiau tlawd Rio , drylliau, cyffuriau a dim cyfle am fywyd cyffredin di-drais. Bywyd ar ei anoddaf sydd yma, ond ffilm fydd yn eich ysgwyd hyd at eich sail.
