In Rio de Janeiro’s bohemian district called Lapa, during the ’40s, a stylish and popular scoundrel exploits a cabaret singer, and earns his living by means of petty swindles. But then he meets Ludmila, the cabaret owner’s daughter, who wants to get rich smuggling goods in times of war. Based on the eponymous musical play by Chico Buarque.
