A murder, on Christmas Eve, spawns a fortuitous connection between melancholic and misfit characters of the São Paulo nightlife, setting in motion a vertiginous search for justice amidst the underworld of Brazil's largest metropolis. Through contemporary political lenses, "The City" of Abysses updates the invention, irreverence, and dreamlike filmographies from other times, transforming a past inheritance into something unique and singular. Whether through irony or foreboding, the film's sepulchral atmosphere also reflects the marks of a time that was yet to come.
