This film is directed by the great director Fernando Merrills and is a good film.

The plot is divided into 3 stages:

The late 1960s

Buska is an 11-year-old boy in the City of Gods, the so-called City of Gods , refers to a poor town in the outer suburbs of Rio de Janeiro. One day he saw a photographer at work and from that moment on he decided to make a living out of it. Dadinho moved to the City of Gods, also an 11-year-old boy, with the dream of becoming the most dangerous criminal in Rio de Janeiro. His evil nature was revealed at an early age. Soon, Dadinho became a member of the local criminal gang. He admired Caberreira and his gang, who intercepted gas trucks and annexed other second-rate armed gangs. It was Caberrera who gave Dadinho the first chance to kill. When he grew up, he even regarded killing as a daily routine.

1970s

The story of the two people continues. Busca went to school and occasionally worked odd jobs. At this time, he seemed to have become a borderline teenager, hovering between depravity and "normal" life. Dadinho's hands are already covered in blood, and he holds many lives in his hands. At this time, he had become the leader of a small gang. Of course, he has not forgotten his childhood dream. Soon he discovered a shortcut. Selling cocaine and marijuana was far better than robbery. It was also the only way to become a gangster. So he set out to build his "career."

Early 1980s

After several failed armed robberies, Bouska finally owned a camera and became a photographer. Fulfilling his childhood dream. Dadinho also realized his dream: at the age of 18, he changed his name to Pequeno and became the most feared and revered drug dealer in Rio de Janeiro. In the City of God, every word he speaks is law. His childhood friends became members of his gang. In order to strengthen his gang, some boys aged 9 to 14 became his subordinates. No one dared to challenge his position until Man Garinha appeared. He was a bus conductor. Because he saw his girlfriend being raped with his own eyes, he vowed to kill Pequeno at any cost to avenge his girlfriend. As soon as this declaration was announced, an armed group of children was formed almost overnight. They have the same belief - to kill Pequeno. The City of God is about to face a war.
