Movie spotlight
Tudo ou Nada em Soterópolis
After the World Cup match schedule was drawn and the holidays were added, Salvador was left with only four working days. In other words, a big “holiday in Salvador” during a World Cup. Given this unusual situation, the film portrays those who are excited about the World Cup, fans and soccer fanatics, and also those for whom the World Cup does not arrive with the same fervor. We will experience important moments during the World Cup with them, looking at the same fact from different perspectives: soccer. The film presents the viewer with a Bahia that fans, but a real Bahia with its coastal areas, suburbs, commerce, historical and tourist areas. A real Bahia in its diversity and, of course, in its good humor.
