Slipstream Rio de Janeiro

Fourteen year old Tutu rides up and down on his bike everyday delivering groceries for his neighbors. His neighborhood sits high up on a mountain in one of the hundreds of hillside favelas in Rio de Janeiro. During an adventure outside of his neighborhood he comes across a bike racing team and his life is never the same. Elsewhere in Rio is American Mark Larson. After graduating from university Mark intends to backpack around the South America but never could shake his attraction to Rio after landing there. Tutu and Mark never come to know each other but their paths meet up in a story that could only happen in the Cidade Maravilhosa, a city of profound contrasts.
