ALVORADA
Vasco’s exposed to his brother's extremist ideals, expressed
through the National Socialist Black Metal genre. However, Vasco doesn't identify with the movement's nature and hides from his brother an essential aspect of his life, in order to avoid a fraternal break, while tracing the path of self-acceptance.
