The third short film produced by the partnership between the producer Ailton Franco Jr. and the filmmaker Eduardo Vaisman, as well as the second collaboration with the scriptwriter Flávia Lins e Silva.

The film, a blend of documentary and fiction, is set in the hillside shantytown of Vidigal in Rio de Janeiro and focuses on the day-to-day of three youngsters who live there, presenting a whole other face of Rio de Janeiro to that which greets the tourist.
