ReportSynopsis
A trip to the mental institution hell. This odyssey is lived by Neto, a middle class teenager, who lives a normal life until his father sends him to a mental institution after finding drugs on his pocket. The maconha cigarrete is just the final drop that exposes the family tragedy. Send to a mental institution, Neto gets to know a completely absurd, inhumane reality in which the people are devoured by a corrupt and cruel institution system. The documentary type language used by the director give this movie a sensation of realty that increases even more the impact of the emotions Neto goes through. In the mental institution, Neto is forced to mature. The transformations that he goes through change this relations with his father.

PERSONALLY i vote for yes because the electroshock therapy and the entire situation of the people who were hospitalized felt like types of torture, but none of the "usual horror movie violent" type you might be thinking of

BIG SPOILER ALERT:: Neto sets his cell on fire at the end of the movie, but he survives. we see him leaving the cell, no wounds onscreen, but a lot of smoke, and he appears to be "physically ok" at the last scenes of the movie

maybe not, because the cops showed are kind of "antagonists" for Neto and they aren't seen as hero's or necessarily good characters, just background characters

I'm voting yes just in case, but most of the characters who are violent throughout the movie have been hospitalized for their addiction, yet they are clearly not mentally well

loud noises and voices often happen after Neto goes through electroshock therapy, but it's common throughout the whole movie, especially on scenes where the characters are high or stressed out (same goes for shakey cam and flashing lights)

Neto gets sent after his father tells him they're "visiting one of his friends" at the beginning of the movie. most of the movie is set there, and though he eventually leaves said institution, after a breakdown at a party he's sent to another one, where he stays until the end of the movie

though not addressed as PTSD through the movie, it's clear that being hospitalized caused some big problems for Neto's mental health and he is most likely traumatized

at 49min to 51min Neto goes through electroshock therapy onscreen. i thought it was disturbing, even if was short. other characters are mentioned to have gone through it as well, but that is the only time it happens onscreen

onscreen: weed, usual medicine, cigarettes, (presumably) cocaine (on the background). something injectable, possibly heroine is mentioned by a character inside the mental institution, though he shows scars from using it, there are no scenes of him doing it

after being sent to the 1st hospital, one of the workers uses a needle to sedate Neto, who is very stressed and agitated through the whole thing. other scenes where needles are used on him happen after he is sent to the 2nd institution: after Neto pretends to take his medicine, and after he had burned empty syringes the night before
