The first movie, Last Stop is centered on unveiling the problem of the Lebanese immigrants who migrated from Lebanon to Brazil six decades ago. The movie speaks of their success and establishment.
Though a large number of the Lebanese are enjoying their stay in Brazil but still hold strong to their culture and tradition while some however practice the religion and follow the doctrine of their host.
Jetula tells the story of a Brazilian former president in the fifty’s, who took his own life because he doesn’t want to be overthrown. Though,he tried his best despite facing challenges, but his best was not good enough.
