Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Noel Rosa is a student of medicine and plays in a band with friends from his neighborhood. Even though he is a white boy from a middle-class family, he prefers the company of black people from the poor neighborhoods, girls who work in factories and prostitutes. After he meets composer Ismael Silva, who introduces him to the world of samba, his friends challenge him to write one himself. The samba he writes becomes an instant success and determines his future.
