About A Síndrome Cacareco (A verdade na cara)
Iago and Daniel are brothers and are unemployed. Neither seems to have a future, but Iago has at least an illusion: wants to run the elections. Wishful thinking, because it is Down syndrome. Contrary to many people's interests and opinion of his own mother, Iago succeed in the elections. A candidate who does not lie: what is seen on the face. As a modern "Cacareco" rhino-Sao Paulo Zoo, which won an election-Iago will become a political danger and try to remove him from the race with all the weapons that demagoguery left to the powerful. But Iago is much harder than its appearance suggests. Your example will leave Daniel regains his nihilism and hope for the future.
Directed by Breogán Riveiro, A Síndrome Cacareco (A verdade na cara) leans on a strong ensemble — Paula Vives, Marc Homs, María Bouzas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2010.
