Briga, Mulher e Samba
Marcelino, a country bumpkin, comes from the countryside to try his luck in Rio de Janeiro. His uncle SimĂŁo, a taxi driver and resident of a favela with Sofia, comes to greet him at the train station. A neighbor, Tereza, takes an interest in the newcomer. At the pier, the criminal ZĂ© receives a package and is pursued by police. Mira Diler performs at the Caverna nightclub. In her dressing room, the criminal ZĂ© is found, injured and without the package. Valentino complains about the police action that is disrupting his "business." Marcelino still hasn't found work; at the same time, he tries unsuccessfully to sell his compositions. He begins helping his uncle as a driver, but puts his own worries first: he goes to the nightclub looking for Mira, but finds himself caught up in Valentino's schemes.
