Synopsis

Liberdade, Sao Paulo – a multi-ethnic neighborhood with the largest Japanese immigrant community in the world. Here people of all races gather to do business – legal or illegal. Yuda, a feared Chinese outlaw, and his adopted son Kirin, rule the pirated goods racket in the Brazilian metropolis. The magnate and his heir control all of Liberdade, from rival gangs to street hawkers, corrupt politicians to erotic dancers. But an empire that takes years to build can also crumble to the ground with one fatal mistake. A conspiracy between politicians and the mafia begins to threaten Yuda’s power. Little by little, he loses control of his business.
