The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to soak in the tension between the idealism of Célio and the corruption embodied by Otávio Sabóia. There’s a rawness to the performances that makes you feel the weight of their choices. Practical effects, while minimal, contribute to the film's grounded atmosphere.

The themes of redemption and sacrifice linger long after the credits roll, adding layers to its simplicity.
