This documentary takes us on a ride through Marginal Tietê, an important avenue in São Paulo, Brazil, then recently opened to the public. The places it crosses and the people living nearby force the viewer to think about the core of this big city.

The street carnival in the city of São Paulo: the scenary, the samba schools, the blocks, the passers-by, the trance. Film made from black and white photographs, with classic samba songs in the soundtrack.
