Toquinho was desired by all women... even men

Overview

Toquinho is a young man living in Marechal Hermes, a poor neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, together with his widow mother and a younger sister. Although he is poor, he is also ambitious, and wants to change his life. He spends all his time on the beach, at Arpoador, Ipanema, where he dreams to become a famous surfer. Besides, he usually finds Patricia there, a rich and liberated young woman, whom he likes a lot. To impress Patricia and satisfy some of her wishes, he lets himself be seduced by André, a gay guy who, in return for his sexual favors, promises him a trip to Hawaii for a surf championship.

The story of a contemporary Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a desolate beach without any comforts, begins to question whether what he once considered comforts were actually illusions. It’s a search for freedom that moves from solitude to the acceptance of beauty, from consumerist recklessness to hunting for food to survive. An inverted environment that, in the end, doesn’t seem so far from his true self.
