Rasga Coração

Rasga Coração is an adaptation of the homonymous play by Oduvaldo Vianna Filho, which tells the story of Manguari Pistolão, an anonymous militant who, after forty years of fighting for what he considers new and revolutionary, sees his son Luca accuse him of being a conservative, old-fashioned, anachronistic. With no money to finish the month, suffering from chronic arthritis pain, and in a growing conflict with Luca, Manguari reviews his past and finds himself repeating the same attitudes as his father. Interspersing fragments of various moments in Manguari's life, the film illuminates forty years of Brazilian political life based on a relationship between father and son.
