7 Prisoners

Mateus (Christian Malheiros) and three fellow young men from the impoverished Brazilian countryside accept work in Sao Paulo, leaving their homes and families behind in 7 PRISONERS. What they don't know is that the boss of the junkyard where they'll work, Luca (Rodrigo Santoro), traffics in men and will quickly imprison them on the preface that they owe him money for food, rent, and transportation. Police and other locals are aware of the scheme and have threatened the men's families back home, making escape impossible. The men band together and Mateus strikes a deal with Luca to up productivity in return for letting them leave after six months. Instead, Luca takes Mateus under his wing and slowly converts him into an assistant.
