Story
Tungstênio follows four intertwined characters in São Paulo, Brazil. The first is a police officer named Sérgio (played by MarcoRicca), who operates on instinct rather than rules. His wife, Lúcia (played by Maria Mello), has decided to leave him due to irreconcilable differences between them. Meanwhile, a young drug dealer named Zeca (played by Daniel de Oliveira) struggles daily just to survive in the dangerous world of organized crime. The fourth character is an ex-army sergeant named Oswaldo (played by Cauã Reymond), who finds it hard to adapt to civilian life after leaving the barracks.
