This movie is a series
of short films set in Rio de Janerio.
Each story is of an encounter about love in a different Rio
neighborhood. New York and Paris
have also had films with their cities as the focus. This film was released before the Olympics were hosted by
Rio.
A lot of ensemble
pieces or short films seem to have the same problem? For this reason, I usually don't like them!! There isn’t enough focus on one story and then it moves on
to the next. Everything seems
rushed, not explored fully and it becomes inconsequential.
