About Morte Para Um Covarde
As soon as his boss discovers his betrayal, Luciano must flee, abandoning his life in the mafia and crime behind him.

However, when Luciano encounters a prostitute with a serious illness, he finds shelter in her home and begins to devise a plan to save his own life.
Directed by Diego Santillán, Morte Para Um Covarde leans on a strong ensemble — Reginaldo Faria, Virginia Lago, Alfredo Murphy — 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 crime titles of 1964.
