The documentary unfolds in Rio de Janeiro on both sides of the wall separating the new Olympic Stadium and the favela Vila Autódromo. Nothing prevents the co-existence of these two worlds, but some judge them incompatible including Rio’s then mayor. His wish to reclaim these area reserved for Rio’s poor since the 1990’s sets off a lopsided power struggle as people with little means fight to keep their home. Meanwhile, the opening ceremony approaches.
