Film Synopsis
Is it possible to reconcile personal happiness with social

surgeon, who appears determined to put off anyone wanting to avail
himself of her services. Then there is a French anthropologist
whose libidinous escapades conflict with her political

shirks his responsibilities by hiding out in one of Rio's most
dangerous shanty towns, where he allies himself with Fisher Stevens, a
crooked tourist guide...
