- Synopsis
- Based on “O Beijo no Asfalto”, a theater play written by Nelson Rodrigues and staged for the first time in 1961. The film tells the story of Arandir, a man who, in a banal gesture, grants the request for a kiss on the lips made by a guy about to die, the victim of a hit and run on Avenida Presidents Vargas. The act is witnessed by a tabloid reporter who explores the kiss between two men to sell papers.
