Synopsis:
Not your usual Brazilian flick, this thriller exposes Marshall, chief immigration officer at New York’s JFK airport, who faces compulsory retirement. On his last day of work, drunk and blinded by prejudice, he harasses a group of Latin American visitors and exposes them to a series of humiliating events that turns into tragedy. Years later, terminally ill and filled with guilt, Marshall goes to Brazil in quest for redemption.
