The lively João Grilo and the sly Chicó are poor guys living in the hinterland who cheat a bunch of people in a small Northeast Brazil town. But when they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary, before they are admitted to paradise. The edited theatrical version of O Auto da Compadecida.
This movie contains 4 potentially triggering events.
The one-eyed beggar in the village is constantly disregarded in the first act. The film laughs of the villagers' hypocrisy towards him and portrays their behaviour as negative and damageable.
As most of the characters are caricatures of typical Brazilian nobodies, a lot of them have negative stereotypes regarding other communities. Most of the time, the story proves them wrong
At some point, one of the characters has to wear a dress to solve the situation. When the Father João (a ridiculous and unreliable priest) eventually finds out, he starts pointing it out as a sin.
