Synopsis

Favela Olímpica unfolds in Rio de Janeiro on both sides of the wall separating the new Olympic Stadium and the favéla Vila Autódromo. Nothing prevents the co-existence of these two worlds but some judge them "incompatible" including Rio's mayor.

Meanwhile, the Opening Ceremony approaches . . .
