Plot

A Cannes Film Festival award winner from the filmmakers who brought us CITY OF GOD and THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, comes this sexy Brazilian drama chronicling a love triangle between two best friends, Deco and Naldinho (CARANDIRU's Lazaro Ramos and Wagner Moura), and a sultry, beautiful young girl, Karinna (CITY OF GOD's Alice Braga,). "All the women in the world couldn't come between us" is the noble, but wishful thinking of youthful friendship, not when the woman in question is Braga, whom New York Times critic A.O. Scott calls "one of the most forthrightly and powerfully sexual screen actresses in the world."

Burdened with unbridled passion, the threesome navigates the "lower city" of tropical Salvador Bahia, stumbling through a treacherous landscape of sex and jealousy. Suffocated and unable to go on, the three must accept one another as lovers, adversaries and ultimately friends, learning to overlook the defiance of their actions and joining one another down an unthinkable path. A startlingly intimate debut from director Sergio Machado, LOWER CITY bursts with a sensuality and energy emanating from the unflinching performances of the vibrant young cast, the natural force of the Bahian landscape and the pulse of Brazilian music.

"An even sexier take on Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN..." -Sara Brady, Premiere Magazine
"A sweaty SEXY Brazilian noir from some of the same people who made CITY OF GOD" -Chris Anderson, Philadelphia Weekly
"Scintillatingly sexy! The actors seethe with sexual passion and rage. Cinematographer Toca Seabra's sweaty closeups and raw, hand-held camerawork charge the actors' bodies with sensuality. A strong calling card for first time helmer Sergio Machado and an eye-catching showcase for the talented young cast." -Deborah Young, Variety
