The Kiss

Directed by Bruno Barreto

With Ney Latorraca, Tarcísio Meira, Christiane Torloni, Lídia Brondi and Thelma Reston

When a pedestrian is hit by a bus, the simple clerk Arandir runs and kisses the moribund in a gesture of sympathy and unconditional pure love. Opportunist photographer Amado Pinheiro witnesses the scene and sees the opportunity to sell newspaper and, together with the despicable and abusive chief of police Cunha, accuses Arandir of homosexuality.
