The Kiss
O Beijo no Asfalto
1981 · 1h 20m · Crime, Drama, Thriller · Brazil · Rated 16 (BR)
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.
