Adoniran Barbosa, an old samba legend, tells a young waiter stories from his past in a São Paulo city that no longer exists. He recalls an old house where he used to live with his dearest friends Joca and Mato Grosso, their quest for the love of Iracema and other stories and characters that were eternalized in his songs, chronicles of a metropolis where real estate speculation rules.
