A Patota

Class differences and a childhood dream are the highlights of "A Patota". Juliana, Vicente, Pedro, and Tião are children who live in a village where the poor and the rich coexist. They dream of traveling to Africa. Teacher Neli, her boyfriend Jorge, and Professor Simões join forces to help them realize this dream.

Directed by Maria Clara Machado, A Patota leans on a strong ensemble — Fábio Mássimo, Rosana Garcia, Júlio César — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1972.
