Mango Yellow (18)

A kaleidoscopic portrait of the colourful characters who live in one of Recife's poorest neighbourhoods. There's Maria the fiery bartender, Isaac the sleazy dope dealer, the cheating butcher, his mistress and his Evangelical wife, two old philosophers, the gay chef, the frustrated old maid and the manager of the Hotel Texas. Fast, funny, bawdy and stylish, Assis interweaves their stories with real panache to capture the spirit of a day in the favela.
