The plot of the movie City of God:
The movie is set in the period of 60-80 years of the last century during the rule in Brazil military dictatorship. "City of God," as one of Rio de Janeiro's poorest neighborhoods was called, was rightly considered the most crime-ridden area in the world.
Dreary slums, hard and low-paid labor and miserable miserable existence - the prospect of almost every inhabitant of this unfortunate place. The only way out of this vicious circle was to make a career in the criminal world.
A teenager nicknamed Little Fishy realized this at an early age. And he also realized that to survive in this cruel and unfair world you need to be strong. And strength is the one who has a weapon. But weapons in the city of God was almost every boy. You had to know how to use them, not just to scare.
And Little Fishy shot. He shot indiscriminately at his own and others, earning the fame of a violent lawless man.
At eighteen, Little Fishka realized that robbery and robbery were not the way to get rich. Drugs were the real money. Soon he had taken over the entire slum market, wiping out almost all the dealers.
After taking over the drug market, Fishka declared himself the master of the slums and suppressed any criminal activity in the neighborhood, because his new business demanded silence. And petty robberies always attracted the police to the neighborhood.
However, this decision was fatal for him, because for most teenagers in the slums like himself, crime was the only way out of poverty....
