Directed by Luis Lomenha, The Innocents of Candelária(Os Quatro da Candelária) is a Brazilian drama series that tells the story of young friends confronted with the harsh reality of life on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Inspired by real events and set in a difficult social context, the series follows a group of characters who, despite their condition, find a sense of community, hope and a shared dream of a better future. The cast brings together young talents such as Patrick Congo, Maria Ibraim and Wendy Queiroz, alongside established Brazilian actors such as Antonio Pitanga and Leandro Firmino da Hora(City of God). With Luis Lomenha directing and executive producing, the series promises to offer an authentic look at the challenges faced by Rio's street children.

The official synopsis of Les Innocents de la Candelária introduces a group of young friends who survive together on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Every day, they struggle to find food, shelter and respite, but above all, they support each other, finding in each other the hope and resilience to dream of a better future. However, their daily lives are turned upside down when tragedy strikes, forcing them to confront an even more brutal reality.

This new series is aimed at fans of realistic, poignant social dramas, and could particularly appeal to those who enjoyed works such as The City of God or Les Misérables. Les Innocents de la Candelária should stand out for its sensitive portrayal of the lives of street kids, blending tales of survival, friendship and solidarity in a hostile urban environment.
