Description
They call themselves 'Captains of the Sands, ' a gang of orphans and runaways who live by their wits and daring in the torrid slums and sleazy back alleys of Bahia. Led by fifteen-year-old 'Bullet, ' the band-including a crafty liar named 'Legless, ' the intellectual 'Professor, ' and the sexually precocious 'Cat'-pulls off heists and escapades against the right and privileged of Brazil. But when a public outcry demands the capture of the 'little criminals, ' the fate of these children becomes a poignant, intensely moving drama of love and freedom in a shackled land.
Language
Translated from Portuguese.
