English title according to IMDB: That World and Mine.
Correct translation of the Portuguese title: This World Is Mine.
In a shantytown live two men, one white and one black. The white guy is an ironworker and the black guy is a shoeshiner. The white guy has a fiancée who moves in with him and wants to have a baby. The black guy wants to own a bicycle so he can conquer the girl of his dreams.
Social drama. Not exactly a well-made movie, it especially lacks a decent script. The abortion angle lacks plausibility; we never get to know why the white woman changes her mind from first wanting a baby despite presumably knowing that it would be difficult to raise it to being resolutely determined not to have it. Overall, a curious movie but not much more than that.
