In 2008, a corpse identified by the police with the birth certificate of the writer Joรฃo Paulo Cuenca was found in an occupied building in Lapa. Inspired by this fact, the movie investigates the theft of the authorยดs identity in a ghostly Rio de Janeiro and in deep transformation. If in fiction and in crime sections of newspapers itโs common to read about people who steal the identity of someone dead to start a new life, what we have here is the opposite case: someone who steals the identity of a living man to die in his place.
