História de um menino favelado que tem seu sonho realizado ao ganhar uma calça branca de presente no dia de natal.

After studying in the capital, the young Cate, 18, returns to her small town in Minas Gerais, to teach in elementary school. Enthusiastic, free and communicative, she conquers the students in the act, but its leading behavior does not appeal to conservative teachers of the 40s. Every day she brings new ideas. While they discover the pleasure of learning, the school friends also have the first lessons about love, friendship and freedom. And the schoolmistress not only winning students: the most beautiful boys in town fall in love with her. Created by Tia Cida and niece of Bishop Aristides, Cate grew up with his uncle's godson, Beto, who became a priest and return to the city after studying outside.

Sérgio Ricardo是巴西最伟大的民谣音乐家之一，他曾为罗恰的《黑上帝白魔鬼》和《死亡使者安东尼奥》创作过原声配乐，但很少人知道他其实也是60年代巴西新电影运动中一位杰出的导演，这部《两个人的世界》是他的处女作，改编自Chico de Assis的戏剧，片中的摄影绝对领先于那个时代的巴西电影，自由而即兴的拍摄角度，类似超8或者16mm实验电影的感觉。 The film follows two men living in a Rio de Janeiro slum: a black shoe-shiner and a white mill worker.
