Summary: From case cover: From the filmmakers who brought you City of God and The Motorcycle Diaries, comes this sexy Brazilian drama chronicling a love triangle between two best friends, Deco and Naldinho (Carandiru's Lázaro Ramos and Wagner Moura), and a sultry, beautiful young girl, Karinna (Alice Braga, City of God). Burdened with unbridled passion, the threesome navigates the "lower city"of tropical Salvador da Bahia, stumbling through a treacherous landscape of sex and jealousy. Suffocated and unable to go on, the three must accept one another as lovers, adversaries, and ultimately friends; learning to overlook the defiance of their actions and joining one another down an unthinkable path. A startlingly intimate debut from director Sérgio Machado, Lower City bursts with a sensuality and energy emanating from the unflinching performances of the vibrant young cast. IMDb: Lifelong friends Deco and Naldinho, who own a small steaming boat in Bahia, meet strip-dancer Karinna. Both men fall for her and their friendship is deeply shattered.
