The film reveals the moments that preceded the Samba Schools' competitive parade in Rio de Janeiro's 1996 carnival. Narrated by actor Hugo Carvana and filmed by three separate 16mm camera units, the documentary focuses exclusively on the gathering of each school before its parade at the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí - the real and imaginary space where everything happens.
