In the violent lower depths of Brazil's coastal Salvador de Bahia, two petty hustlers, Deco and Naldinho, make their living running cargo to nearby ports. When they meet a beautiful stripper, Karinna, both fall passionately in love with her. Jealousy soon threatens to undermine their friendship, and when they must choose between each other, or Karinna, they cannot resist the desire to possess her. From the producer of 'The Motorcyle Diaries' and with a stunning Brazilian soundtrack, Lower City is an intense, steamy film with searing performances and vibrant cinematography.
