A parade of tanks rumbles into the iconic city of Rio de Janeiro, announcing a military dictatorship that will rule Brazil for 20 years. It is a rude counterpoint to the colorful Carnival for which the country is famous. And for Afonso, a visionary poet; Wolfman, a street child; Agnes, a rebellious artist and Leonora, her disillusioned mother, this historical moment will provoke life changing confrontations with personal demons, past, present and future in the heart of the "Marvelous City."
