The Kiss

Directed by Bruno Barreto

Starring Ney Latorraca, Tarcísio Meira

It wasn’t the first kiss... neither the first time

When a pedestrian is hit by a bus, the simple clerk Arandir runs and kisses the moribund in a gesture of sympathy and unconditional pure love. Opportunist photographer Amado Pinheiro witnesses the scene and sees the opportunity to sell newspaper and, together with the despicable and abusive chief of police Cunha, accuses Arandir of homosexuality.
