The idea of a promiscuous chic on a Brazilian/Bolivian road trip with a moody paraplegic small-time smuggler might sound like a good starting place for an offbeat romantic crime picture.
However, writer/director Murilo Pasta fumbles with the story he wants to tell.
Hitchhiker/hooker Carmo (played by force-of-nature Mariana Loureiro) gets rescued from an attack by a would-be parking lot client by Marco (Fele Martinez), whose wheelchair-entrapment barely hinders his ability to hurt and kill people, or to chauffeur Carmo through dusty landscapes in his loot-filled pick-up truck.
The film reaches short for an inexistent hyperbolic tone of sex and violence as Carmo and Marco realize a romantic bond in the face of surprising events, mostly involving a goofy pair of rival criminals.
Not Rated. 99 mins.
