SYNOPSIS

SINOPSE

In a modest living compound from the urban periphery, the tenants live their erotic passions simultaneously. Right from the start a voice over establishes the comical register of the film, as the narrator makes known his distrust towards the idea of growing up, contending that only the form play takes changes with time, but it’s all play nevertheless. In the following scenes some of the most ridiculous situations are presented in interspersed fashion: a frustrated father who invents games his boy could play in the dormitory yard, so that he and his wife can share some intimate moments in their tiny studio apartment; a man who watches porn on TV and is interrupted by a well behaved female neighbour, but with a slightly perverse inclination, who knocks on his door under the pretext of wanting to borrow an iron and so on. Eventually, the film takes a more serious turn, as it distances itself from the layer of fiction it previously built in order to observe the desolate landscape of the poor suburbs for a few moments.
