Altinha was born on the sand of Copacabana and Ipanema, and it needs almost nothing. A ball, bare feet, and the agreement that it must not touch the ground. Sea, sand, football and cariocas. Magia brasileira. This one is North Bondi, Sydney, one more sunset, half a world from Rio. Bodies turn against the light, sculptural for a second.
Then the ball crosses the sun and, for the length of one frame, puts it out. A carioca eclipse.
