Once famous for a historical novel, Duarte can no longer write and his love life and finances are in ruins. He jots brief notes to remember things by, hoping one day to make sense of the chaos he is living through, while the city bleeds from wounds that are no longer hidden. Dreams, fantasies and fact run together in his entries, and a broken Brazil shows through them.
