Synopsis
Seven stories from everyday Brazilian life. Seven events that initially seem entirely separate are slowly but surely interwoven with exciting and delightful satirical consequences. An Indian tribal chief calls on his people to stop performing the rain dance. He demands payment for their services, especially now that a drought is threatening energy supplies. A journalist quarrels with his wife about the kind of commissions he wants to get. A homeless man who collects paper finds a packet with something in it. A TV builder is working on a documentary about Charles Ponzi, the inventor of the pyramid fraud. A politician keeps winning the lottery. A baby goes missing and soon gets a taste for money. The result is an exciting parable about what happens when people put their faith in the absolute power of money. In other words, a parable for our times.
