14th Cine Latino Film Festival Thursday, October 8 at 7:30PM ABOUT THE FILM On a sunny morning in the city of Belo Horizonte, a crowded public bus makes its way downtown. As it crosses an overpass, the vehicle suddenly swerves, veers off the road, and crashes onto the avenue below. One passenger is left critically injured, while everyone else — including Wesley, the driver — is killed. The tragedy dominates television broadcasts and newspaper headlines across the country. Security cameras from both the bus and the roadway capture the moment of the crash, and after the footage is analyzed, speculation begins to spread that the driver may have acted intentionally, in an apparent suicide.

O caminho à sua frente se mostra difícil, e as respostas que Vicentina tanto busca nem sempre são as que ela encontra. En nombre de mi hijo (On Behalf of My…
