Description:
In the gritty underbelly of São Paulo's slums, Jorge's life has been an endless struggle, until he discovers a peculiar talent for luxury house burglary that leads him to become 'The Red Light Bandit.' The moniker, given by sensationalist media, refers to both his signature red flashlight and the brazenness with which he interacts with hostages during his audacious heists. He doesn't shy away from making irreverent small talk or pulling off daring escapes, eventually splurging on wild experiences in sharp contrast to his humble beginnings. The decadent neighborhood of Boca do Lixo serves as the backdrop to Jorge's audacious life, blending elements of crime, excess, and dark humor amidst a world defined by social disparity.
