The story

What Is Behave About?

The premise of Behave without spoilers.

In Rio de Janeiro, over the course of several days, director Maria Ramos documents courtroom hearings involving teenagers charged with theft, drug trafficking and murder. Because Brazilian law protects minors and forbids showing their faces, the film uses youths from poor neighborhoods as substitutes, preserving anonymity while showing the proceedings.
