A story of three teenagers on the slum of Salvador, Brazil. Café runs away from the interior because of a "family revenge" that persecutes him. Arriving in the capital, he tries to find her father, who is imprisoned in a local prison. Pépi lives on the outskirts, where she is raped by her stepfather and expelled from home by her own mother. Limão lives in a hole under a viaduct with Marta, who is very weak due to drug addiction. The three come together to survive, while the friendship grows between them. But the setbacks of everyday life end up leading them to different paths.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
