The injured man is Espí\;rito da Lu z Cardoso (literally &ldquo\;Spirit of the Light&rdquo\;)\, a struggling c omposer whose sambas unite and uplift the marginalized Brazilian people in his midst. Based on the life of composer Zé\; Keti &ndash\; who act ually appears in the film as the popular singer Alaor &ndash\; Espí\ ;rito's story unfolds through flashbacks which overflow luxuriously with s ong\, yet also expose the manifold divisions within Rio's social strata. A victim of exploitive businessmen who suck the life out of his music\, Esp í\;rito witnesses each of his dreams dashed one at a time by unrelen ting tragedy. Apparently oblivious to his inherent goodness and irrepressi ble joy\, the plot of the film &ndash\; much like capitalism's surge throu gh 1950s Rio de Janiero &ndash\; boldly charges forward leaving true beaut y and vitality lying upon its tracks.\n\nStart time: 7:00 pm DTSTART:20120504T000000 DTEND:20120504T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:Rio\, Northern Zone - FILMMAKER IN PERSON!
