Born and raised in the misery of Brazilian slums, Jorge becomes a luxury house burglar in São Paulo and gets nicknamed "The Red Light Bandit" by the sensationalist press. In addition to wearing a red flashlight, he talks to his hostages in an irreverent tone and makes bold breakthroughs to later spend the money extravagantly. His world is the decadent neighbourhood of Boca do Lixo.
Это простой рассказ о водителях грузовых машин, о безвестных героях, которые и днем, и ночью, и в солнце, и в дождь по труднопроходимым дорогам Бразилии перевозят грузы с запада на восток, с севера на юг и связывают самые отдаленные города и посёлки.
