Gilda is the epitome of joie de vivre. Everything she does, she does with heartfelt passion: cooking, eating, partying, having sex. Her world is the house she lives in and the little garden behind it, where there’s always plenty of room for guests. But in her neighbourhood, on the outskirts of a favela in Rio de Janeiro, strict politicians are gaining more and more influence, and her free-spirited existence is a thorn in their side. Gilda, however, has no intention of changing her sensuous way of life, and she is ready to fight for her freedom. ZFF screens all four episodes of this colourful Brazilian mini-series.
