Burning Night

Log in to play this film

Paulo starts driving a cab to pay his bills and to cover child support for his son. Passengers' stories intertwine with his own while he drives at night through Rio de Janeiro - a chaotic city in permanent reinvention. Even though each passenger has a different destination, Paulo is always the one steering the wheel, hoping for better days in a city falling apart.

Eryk Rocha's edgy, impressionistic chronicle of the nocturnal encounters of a Rio cab driver vividly captures the strange unpredictability of a rapidly changing world.
