"Samba"
Pedra que Samba
Rehearsal on a roda de samba, event that takes place every week at Pedra do Sal. A tour of the African Heritage circuit in the region of the old port of Rio de Janeiro. A slave's voice evokes the past. Buildings are demolished. The city never tires of reinventing itself. Remain the people. And the samba.

Lyrics
In the short end of pregnancy, a samba singer sees herself shared between two men that believes to be the father of her baby. Duelling men: a militiaman, a hacker and Shirley, a cross-dresser, best friend of the singer, who really plays the role of head on that family. Dreams, love, jealousy, life and death. Like in our songs.
