On the edge of Rio de Janeiro, in [[The Sixties]], a housing colony is built to replace the ''favela'' shantytowns and house the many refugees of flooding. A bleak but not horrible place, its people live on the edge of society: the kids growing up there engage in petty crime that grows ever more severe as the years go on. By [[The Seventies]], the children have become teenagers and the colony has become like the decaying shantytowns it was meant to replace.

* [[Age Cut]]: Of the "cut to younger" kind.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Subverted. Angélica *does* go for gangster Bené over nice guy Buscapé, but not because she wants a bad boy - as gangsters in the film go, Bené's a relatively benign one, and Angélica asks him to give up the gangster lifestyle soon after they've gotten together. The same is true of Cabeleira's (Shaggy) girlfriend in the opening section. Zé, meanwhile, is unable to get sex without paying for it or forcing himself on a woman, despite being as bad as bad boys get (and getting plenty of respect for it from other gangsters).
