A portrait of the city of São Paulo through the life of four of its inhabitants: an economist and analyst of the financial market, a metallurgist who works at Volkswagen, a motorcycle courier and a railway worker. Each character calls attention to one aspect of the economy in a period of social tension: the three weeks before the start of the soccer World Cup. The director creates the movie by observing the daily life of the characters, without making interviews or commentaries. Future June aims to reflect on this historical moment and on the ways that the current economic model determines social and human relations.

Like a road movie, the film accompanies a water delivery truck through the Brazilian landscapes of the Sertão region, plagued by drought. Between fiction and documentary, the driver’s trip bears witness to a determined population endeavouring to live out their daily lives, while the sterile words of politicians seem to soar over the arid lands. A collective portrait that respects the right distance.

It examines the daily life of the residents and cops at a Rio de Janeiro favela one year after the arrival of a Pacifying Police Unit.

La película sigue la trayectoria de un grupo de menores de edad enfrentados a la ley: muchachos pobres que contemplamos desde su detención hasta su juicio por delitos de robo, tráfico de drogas u homicidio. Puesto que la ley no permite que se revele la identidad de delincuentes menores de edad, en el film los representan otros jóvenes que viven en condiciones sociales parecidas. Todos los demás personajes que aparecen en la película (jueces, fiscales, abogados, funcionarios o familiares) son personas reales a las cuales se filmó durante los juicios y visitas al correccional.

In Justiça, Maria Ramos puts a camera where many Brazilians have never been - a criminal courtroom in Rio de Janeiro, following the daily routine of several characters. There are those that work there every day (public attorneys, judges, and prosecutors) and those that are merely passing through (the accused). The camera is used as an instrument that sees the social theatre, the structures of power - that is to say, what is, in general, invisible to us. The corridors of the Courts of Justice, the design and layout of the courtroom, the discourse, the codes, postures - all the little visual details and sounds become relevant.
