Magnificent natural performances mark the aesthetics of Carla Perez debut in movie theaters, a popular Brazilian dancer who built her career by fighting demagogic campaigns and releasing wild animals. Carla Perez (Carla Perez) is a girl that was born in a rural inland desert area, and grew up so obsessed with dancing she keeps jumping to no music while her mom works when she's a kid, she saw her mom die after a mean kid break her hoe on the ground (the movie never explains but probably those two things aren't related)
While she's ingenious enough to don't know what is a "protagonist", she's a gifted talented performer, although it's a little bit hard to know the difference between her and the other dancers, she's able to buy an acarajé and dance at the same time, making a lot of people go to the food stand and buy an acarajé too, saving a woman's business (she questions: "maybe she's the angel that came up to change my life??")
This draw the attention of the megalomaniac manager Pierre (Perry Salles) that want to turn her into the "biggest dancer in the world" and was played by Perry Salles with such intensity that he throw a melon upwards and yells "we found her! we found her!" after search Carla in Salvador streets with binoculars.
But Carla starts to discover Perry is a terrible man and not only avoid to be managed by him, but also end up the movie dressed as Jeanie from "I dreamed a Jeannie", intervents a lot of kids working with hoes in a pavemented road (probably they was smoothing the cement or searching wire earthworms), makes a beautiful speech about how all the kids deserves protection, food, love and peace, and closes the movie with a beautiful and fun musical number
