Aquele Abraço

Directed by Carolina Benjamin

They came by bike, on foot, by bus, in trailers... They crossed deserts, crossed the continent, slept on the streets, in hotels and in the favelas. Armed with their cameras, thousands of travelers traveled around Rio de Janeiro without spending much money and experienced the World Cup as a big party. Constructed entirely from images taken by the tourists themselves, the short film shows the Rio de Janeiro they discovered and the adventures of experiencing the other side of the World Cup.
