Together with partners like Aldir Blanc, Moacyr Luz re-invented Rio de Janeiro in sambas and songs. In his daily life, he created places in which this invented Rio materialises, like the famous Samba do Trabalhador (Workman's Samba) on Mondays. The documentary accompanies the artist's moviment for a whole week, from a Sunday samba jam in São Paulo to a Saturday carnival group in the centre of Rio de Janeiro.
