Sem gravidade, from the Portuguese: without gravity.
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.
A body held in the air with nothing underneath it. For as long as the frame lasts, gravity has been called off. A goal, a dream, out of reach. Want it enough and you leave the ground.
