The initial state of the group.
The background of the story takes place in Rio de Janeiro. In order to control the number of corpses in the area, the corrupt Brazilian police department throws corpses from Area A to Area B at night, and then is thrown back to Area A by Area B. In order to generate income, the policemen eat and drink in all the shops, put punishment labels on roadside parking, and employees need to submit evidence to the department leaders when they ask for leave... and so on. Under the concatenation of this huge corruption chain, and under the management of the entire order in name only, the entire Rio de Janeiro presents a state of "looking beautiful".
Group Transition Status.
Depending on the purpose of the leader, new members infiltrate the original team in different forms. As a result, members of the Rio de Janeiro police elite "BOPE" joined this beautiful police force as rookies. The rookies are called rookies because they have the passion, ideals, novelty, and expectations that the veterans have passed away... Then, integrating into the group is a long experience. They experience learning, adaptation, running-in, rejection, assimilation and finally disappointment. Hot-blooded youth are everywhere, in any country, in any city, not only in violent Rio. The rookies want to turn things around and let things go. They will follow the old police officers to patrol the streets, and then pay for their food and drinks; they will try to investigate the death rate; they will fight for the owners who have not violated the rules... And the result of doing everything according to the rules is that an idealist's dream is shattered.
The final state of the team.
The rookies want to turn the situation around, and the veterans defend the situation. This is a contradictory position. This is a process of competition. This is also the trajectory of the rookies who have experienced a complete crossing and are reborn based on realism in the midst of collapse.
The film won the Golden Lion Award at the 58th Berlin Film Festival.

Do you believe that any social group has rules, and should stick to the rules or adapt to changes? When the rules hinder development, should they continue to move forward, stick to the rules, or betray and flee? Society is too complex and uncertainty abounds. And I always tell myself that you should face difficulties in order to reach the peak, but the truth is, when you climb hard, you will find that someone has cut your way. Then I thought again, did someone else cut your way or you just didn't want to move forward...
