Sinopsis

This anthology brings together ten short stories that go beyond the postcards and snapshots, and introduce us to real residents of Rio – young dancers training to be the next stars of samba, exhausted labourers press-ganged into meeting an impossible deadline, nostalgic drag queens… that make Rio the ‘marvellous city’ it is.
