Rich kids party in a favela like it's poverty tourism with a soundtrack.
A group of playboys organizes the last party of the year in a slum before the change in weather. And for this night, beyond the usual drugs, alcohol and sex, they will receive special guests: an addict that uses and is used by the group, a country singer who was raised around the slum, a strange security guard and the owner of the place.
Acting
Bruna Linzmeyer's Amsterdam is devastating, using and used in equal measure.
Production
The favela location isn't backdrop—it's the film's conscience and accuser.

Director
Neville D'Almeida
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
D'Almeida filmed in actual Rio favelas during the 2016 Olympics buildup, when 'pacification' police units were 'cleaning' areas for international eyes.
The title's 'cold front' is literal weather and metaphorical reckoning—the party's hosts cannot outrun the systems they pretend to transcend.
