About
It’s Carnival in Rio. A young man wanders through the streets of the city and the remains of the huge cardboard parade floats. Driven by grief over the bankruptcy of his samba school, he’s also haunted by memories of his dead father and a lost love. An impressive cinematic experiment composed of fragments of the present and the past, developed as part cinema, part art installation in the tropical setting of Rio.
