is an amateurish indie effort from Brazil that flirts with the sci-fi and superhero genres but is mostly a psychological drama. The interesting lead is a deranged young man with a persecution complex and in looks he reminded me of a cross between Conrad Veidt and a young Clancy Brown. Sadly, the film in which he appears is rather weak, with lots of small talk between peripheral characters with a couple of stronger scenes, the asylum bit being one. However, overall it's hard to get into, and simply not very interesting.
