The Asphalt Kiss
T0805821611
Obsession, Beauty, Murder, Betrayal: The perfect tabloid story. As a pedestrian hit by a bus lies dying on a Rio street, a passer-by, Arandir, stops to cradle him in his arms. He kisses him on the lips - a last request from the dying man as a parting gesture of human solidarity. The scene is witnessed by an unscrupulous reporter who turns the compassionate act into salacious front-page news. Tabloid journalism spins into overdrive, and Arandir's life is torn apart as his friends and family slowly turn against him.
