The story of Fernando Ramos da Silva, a semi-illiterate who became known when playing the title role in Pixote.
Emanuel Levy of Variety said that the film is "a disappointing dramatic reconstruction of the turbulent life and untimely death of child actor Fernando Ramos da Silva," and that "despite honorable intentions and an interesting life to relate, Pixote is not touching."[1]
