When I started watching this show, I had a doubt as a preliminary feeling of where would the story line be headed to. But the events caught my attention very soon, and it turned out to be a surprising revelation. Being from São Paulo, I can testify that this city is the land of opportunities, with countless possibilities. But a land where you have to fight your way toward the "American Dream", it will be not be delivered to you on a tray. We follow three teenagers that choose distinct paths to reach their goals and ambitions, since going to college is not an available card on the table for them. The way their situation evolves is extremely thrilling, and not really predictable, as we often wandered what was going to happen in the most challenging moments. Trough shallow local dialogs, powerful messages are exchanged, and a simple mistake can be fatal, yet youth perseveres. Of course people not familiar with Portuguese may loose part of the show, as slangs are hard to be translated from a language to another, but I believe it's definitely worth a try for people interested in learning what life can be in a city like São Paulo, with 12 millions inhabitants and hundreds of favelas. A think the junior actors did a very good job, they all carry their personal form of charisma and values, often twisted by the circumstances an the context of their ongoing life.
