"But is everybody the same here at the beach?" "In that case, yes." "It has to be like that." "You mind your own business." "For example, here we are... we're from the same social class, we're broken... there's another group there, with more money." "They are in their world and we are in ours." "Nobody is taking nobody's place... and we're all in the same place, right?" "We all are one at the beach." "There is no such thing as... for example, they didn't pay to get in." "Neither did I."

" We met at the beach." " All of us..." " We all..." " At the beach later." "We became good friends." "As the name is "United by accident", that's what happened." "Somebody'd come, sit, introduce the other... place a chair here, play the samba, stay here... mingle, talk to everybody, then the whole thing... the beach brought us together." "It was always the beach." "This is Posto 9, which is the most famous beach spot... in Rio de Janeiro, I guess." "I've been coming to Posto 9... for more than 20 years." "I met Orlando then." "And for me, the beach... is intrinsically connected to coming to Posto 9." "Anything goes in here." "I love the place where anything goes." "As long as you don't kill... anything goes." "That's nice." "You may be handsome, you may be ugly... you may be skinny, you may be fat... you may drink, you may not drink." "It's a free zone." "People feel free here." "Anybody can sit here." "There's someone here talking to someone... over there and I'm here and it's alright." "I like that." "I think the beach is the most democratic place."

"You smoke pot, you don't." "You want to eat cheese, you want to eat whatever..." "Damn, you..." "No one wants to know who you are here at the beach." "You're at the beach." "It's sort of a free zone in the city." "We live in buildings, few people live in houses in Rio... so the beach is kinda like our backyard." "Everybody's at home, it's everybody's home." "Your neighbors are here, your friends." "Yo, Amaral, see?" "There's Amaral." "Amaral?" " Amaral, come here." " Please." "It's a documentary." "I mean it." "Animal World." "No?" "It's not?"

"The best post in the world is Posto 9 in Ipanema." " See?" " Why, Amaral?" "No, he has to say it." "People here are not the brain type." "Mind your own business." "The guys there at the smoke, the family guys here... the flirting guys over there." "It's all segmented." "Nobody trespasses, you know?" "Each enjoys his or her own space." "Do you think the beach is the same to everybody?" "If there is a democratic place, this is it." "No, I'm lying... cause it isn't." "You may think that it is, but it's not." "Do you think it is?"

"There are new people here, right?" "There's something new going on here." "The sun is up and it's windy." "There, the beach is the sun." "It's very hot, isn't it?" " Not here." "It's all at once." " So, it's a fresh wind?" "People per se, they are different, you know?" "What's different about them?" "It's different..." "They're from the south, rigth?" "People dress better... they look better." "There's a reason they live in the south." "We were going there, but because of the place, we ended up here." "There are the wackos, the surfers, you know?" "There's the family spot, the flirting spot." "There's a place for everything there, you go..." "Some come by bus." "Yeah." "The guys who come by bus." " Like, Arpoador down there." " There's "farofa"... baked chicken and fried eggs." "Yeah, right." "So, we had enough of that." "We didn't bring chicken but we brought sandwiches." "Yeah, you know?" "It is really segmented into groups." "In fact, we're moving here and there, farther there... we parked down there, exactly because of that." "My son said, "There are too many people from Vidigal... let's go farther, let's walk over there." "I turned to him and said, "You want to play tourist?"" "An African, maybe."

"Things which make you feel good." "Even if you don't have money, go walk at the mall... see what's new, see what's in."" "What's going on." "Then someday, today, which is a holiday... when nobody works, everybody is at home... we come to see beautiful things, because it is good... to see beautiful people walk by, the styles, you." "That was good for our egos too." "We're being filmed." "That's a story to tell." "We got to Ipanema, out of the blue some photographers came... some reporters filmed us." "I mean, that made our egos inflate a little." "That's something we have to tell the other tomorrow... at work, for friends and neighbors, you know?" "That's what I meant, fresh air." " Let's talk over here." " OK." "Do you always come to this beach?" "I come here often." "Quite often." "I think I come here every sunny Sunday and on holidays." "Why here?" "Does the beach have other places like this?" "Yeah, there are some spots like this but I come for my friends." "This is the Country, you know?" "The Country Club of Rio de Janeiro is here... so it's a very famous club." "Some might know it because of that and there... it is in front of 10, which is Posto 10, you know?" "Another reference building is that huge one over there... the Carlos Serrat... which is also a meeting point." "That brown building."

"There's a natural apartheid in the beaches of Ipanema." "Not even Nelson Mandela can solve that problem... it is something inherent in people, it is not imposed." "Posto 7 at the beginning of Arpoador, up to 8... that's where the bus from the suburbs stop." "So, basically, the upper-class does not mingle." "So there are the people coming from suburbs..." "Posto 9 is the famous potheads spot... poets and artists at Posto 10... up to posto 11, which is the upper-class spot, for uptown kids." "And Posto 12, because of its proximity to Vidigal and Rocinha... is also not considered an elite post, you know?" "Natural apartheid." "Funny, isn't it?" "Why do you come here?" "Are you an uptown boy?" "Let's say I'm more of an uptown boy than a suburbian boy." "My name is Natasha." "Copenhague." "Alonzo Souza, from Mexico." ""I'm Italian." "I'm here in Rio on vacation."" "I'm Carioca, born and raised." "I love Rio de Janeiro and this is my favorite beach." "There's a huge "favela" over there." "There, isn't it?" "And at the same time, there are these rich people... this thing about lpanema and Leblon being... the most expensive square meter in the world... compared to..." "I mean, it is something that makes us..." "When will we be together?" "This thing about including." "Everybody gets together at the beach, right?" "You walk by... the beggar, who came to take a bath... you walk by the millionaire who has a yacht parked there." "Everybody together and respecting each other." "I think that's beautiful." "I think that's awesome." "So, if we can accomplish that why can't we accomplish more?" "Let's go." "Hi, do you come here often?" "Yes, I live near here." "How do you like this beach?" "It's very family-like, very nice." "Now there are police officers everywhere, you know?" "We are not afraid to come." "The water is not as dirty as I imagined, you know?" "So I like it very much." " What beach is this one?" " Flamengo beach." "Ipanema is divided into groups." "Does that also happen here?" "From number 200 to that direction, the kind of people change... maybe because of the bus stops, people coming from downtown." "Let's say that here is the noble part of the beach, OK?" "There are spots, let's put it this way... where people go to mingle." "For instance, in Ipanema there is the spot, I think... in front of Farme where the gays go." "People know only gays go there." "So people know where they're going." "If they don't like that, they don't go there." "If people who come by bus came here, would that bother you?" "Well, I'll be pretty honest, yes, it would." "I'm not a hypocrite, you know?" "It's a matter of..." "We were talking about it... at home the other day." "It's about manners." "People should have manners." "It's not about school education, it's about values, behavior... you know?" "It's very unpleasant to be here sometimes... and a child comes and kick sand on you and stuff." "This is about values, you know?" "Manners which should be given by parents at home... and that we know most Brazilians don't have." "So that would definitely bother me." "I won't be a hypocrite and say that it wouldn't." "There's prejudice from people." "People from a lower purchasing power, things like that." "You may say you don't "mind", quote... but you won't try to remove the someone... from the beach." "That's not the way to deal with that." "You know?" "Everybody can come and go wherever they want to." "But they'd better not come?" "What about Piscinão de Ramos?" "Go to Piscinão." "Poor people's children become brick layers... or artists." "I decided to be an artist because my father worked for 30 years." "He couldn't afford a bicycle, working does not give you a life." "I decided to sing my samba, because everybody sings samba." "And my mother, powerful "voodoo witch" then, casted a curse... if you don't buy my cd, you'll never have a hard-on." "Have you bought it yet?" "I used to live in Baixada... and the only single-bus-distance beach was Ramos." "We'd come on foot, because we were broke." "Sometimes we would rent a truck... women would dress up." "They'd bring living chickens, they'd kill them here... they'd sell them here." "In the old days, people would come to Ramos and at home... they'd say they were in Barra... because they were ashamed." "Nowadays it makes you proud, because there's culture here... there are sports courts, children's toys." "It's my inspiration source, it's my house's backyard." "That's why I've been coming to Ramos for more than 30 years... it has always been a democratic place." "For instance, me, black guy, would go to a bar in Copacabana... they would think I wanted to steal their stuff." "Not here." "There are no blacks, whites... no rich and poor, we're are the same in here." " Is there prejudice?" " You know there is." "There's prejudice." "You are sitting on the towel... a black guy or a mulatto comes and they all get nervous." "Not here, there ain't such thing." "You steal, you get whooped." " Do you always come to Piscinão?" " First time." " Where do you live?" " I live in Madureira." "How did you like it?" "Interesting." "I thought it was completely different." "I think there's some sort of prejudice there." "In some parts." "Not here, everybody comes, blacks... and nobody gives a damn about it." "The reality in Piscinão is like this... it, it... integrates many social classes." "That's the truth." "But only the middle class and lower." "The truth?" "That's the truth." "On the other side it's the..." "you know, the poor ones... and those who want some privacy... come over here." "The kids at Piscinão." "I'm at the beach, close to home." "I'm having fun." "Humble people who accept me nicely, you know?" "Like this guy over here." "Here we eat, drink, all cheap stuff." "Because we're all poor." "I sometimes buy them things." "Don't I?" "Absolutely." "There's nothing like that in Copacabana." " There's no lunch bag there." " There isn't." "Are we in a place where there are drugs?" "Yes." "There's pot?" "There is in Copacabana too." "Because I can smell that when I go to Copacabana." "There's pot there too, you know?" "But, check this out." "I'm totally against..." "I have no prejudice." "Kinda." "You know?" "I think it's dirty when people say..." ""I go to Piscinão."" ""You go to Piscinão?" "Oh, God." Whatever..." "That's the truth." "If you live in Barra or... at the south, "I went to Piscinão". "Damn, you did?"" "Prejudice is at your face." "It's a beautiful day" "I'll put on my shorts" "Enjoying this wonderful sun" "I'm going to Piscinão" "Piscinão, Piscinão" "I'm going to Piscinão" "Have you ever been curious about Piscinão?" "I have." "I tried to convince them, "Let's go to Piscinão." "Let's go, let's go", but nobody did." "I was very curious to see that thing closely." "But we go by the "Red Line" and we say..." ""That's Piscinão"." ""Ah, look at Piscinão."" "People are afraid." "Too much violence." "It's not only... a poor-rich thing, I think there's much violence there." "There are gang fights there too." "Well, there are gang fights here too." "Gang fights..." "These Piscinão thing, not about Piscinão... it's not because Piscinão got dirty... but there's a... a... a social segregation which is internalized... affecting people emotionally." "I really don't go to Piscinão, I'm not a hypocrite... because I don't relate to people who go to Piscinão." " You see?" " You said you were curious." "No, no, no." "Trying to hide it." "My identity, I have a solidary soul." "That is, one must do something... because Piscinão..." "I agree with you there." "Ramos will be a beautiful beach." "I mean..." "Those people are trying their own way... to have their share of happiness." "Just like us." "People from the south, not everybody, but many of them..." " they think Rio's the south part." " And that is true." "Someone from the north and the suburbs, they know Copacabana..." "Ipanema, Leblon, but they come here." "The south part looks over the sea, the south part doesn't look north." "They go to Maracanã and come back, if much." "It's fear, you know?" "I think it is a very segregated city." "Next week..." "Bye, guys." "Bye." "Thank you." "The easier to get in... the easier to find people from different social classes... and bad-mannered people as well." "There are no buses to get here?" "So who comes here, does so by car or a... van, something like that." "I mean, it's restrictive, isn't it?" "That's is another reason why I like to come here." "Tell us a little bit about this life as a fisherman... your life here in Grumari." "How is that?" "I never stop working." "I'm always working." "There's always work to do." "I just came from the sea and I'm going back already." "I take them out at night, fishing." "And set the nets." "I will probably be back by 4 in the afternoon." "No lunch, you only have time to eat something small." "What's living in the beach like?" "Is it different?" "Not more different than living in a house." "The same thing, isn't it?" "It's work." "To me it is work... just like you have yours." "Can you show us your house?" "It's not a house." "It's a ranch." "It's a fisherman's shelter." "There are no lights, there's a stove, a bed, a refrigerator... a freezer to keep fish, a TV for you to watch." "You are seeing that, that's all clothes for fishing... that we wear everyday to go fishing... because you have to go back to the sea after you hang them." "Come in." "That's my sister." "She's cooking today." "These are the fishing tools, up here." "That's a bedroom." "Over here there's a hammock which I use to sleep." "Here, a freezer to keep the fish." "The beach is out there to welcome everybody." "No matter if they are big or small, thin or whatever... anybody." "But do you think people are all the same in the beach?" "Yes, there is equality." "Everybody is the same." "I welcome you here just like I welcome our president Lula." "I have friends over." "Famous ones, too, who come here..." "Officers, generals come here." "They are treated the same." "Oh, my God." "I was sleeping." "We were up all night long." "We live here on this street." "My friends and I decided, "Let's go the beach." "Let's drink... whatever", then we came to set the tent and stay." "What if this idea spreads?" "Will everybody camp here?" "That's what I was thinking about." "Everybody would do that, they would live by the beach." "In a tent, you know?" "Do you think there's room for everybody at the beach?" "The upper-class, they think this belongs to them, you know?" "They feel sorry for the people from the "favelas"... that they have no rights to be here, you know?" "I even heard once, people saying..." ""The subway should open on Sundays too." "Subways on Sundays would be a problem... because the whole "favela" will come here."" "But the sea belongs to them too." "All of that... what God has made belongs to everyone." " Hi, how are you?" " How is it going?" "We would like to film in there." "Can I come in?" "Do you have permission to get in?" " No, do we have to?" " Yes." "Why?" "You have to talk to the colonel in there to get a permission." "But people who come here can't just get in?" "No, only if you are a guest from someone in there." "You can't even enter the beach?" "You also need permission." "It's a private beach." "Only people from the army... but as I have a friend who lives in here... then I come here." "A huge beach, clean, almost desert... only for the people from the headquarters." "It's really not fair." "But that keeps it clean, right?" "Compare it to the other beaches." "And if we want to get in, we must know somebody?" "You have to." "You have to." "I've been trying to get in for years." "Years." "But you have to know somebody." "And then I met somebody." "It's been a long time, right?" "To get in, only if you know somebody." "Only for those who can, it's not for everybody." "Some people want to, but they can only want to." "Piririm, piririm, piririm" "Somebody called me" "Piririm, piririm, piririm" "Somebody called me Who is this?" "It's me, Fireball And the sun is scorching" "It will be at Barra beach A new fad I'll start" "Want to cover me in sand?" "No, no, I'll bury" "Want to bury me in the sand?" "No, no, I'll bury" "What's the best thing in the beach?" "Go ahead." "Go ahead and say it." "Everything but men." "Women, of course." "Men?" "Why would I look at men?" "I come to the beach to see women." "And take a bath." "People come on each other?" "How's that?" "Last time I came here, I nailed two." "Today I got nothing." "Things are hard for him now because he is broke." "Man, how did you know that?" "When he has dough, they come." "But since he is broke today..." "You're going out together, you're a couple, what's going on?" "We're hanging out." " Really?" "When did you meet?" " Today." " At the beach?" " Yeah." "How is that?" "Is that the trend?" "Yeah, the new trend we have just started." "But how was that?" "You looked at him who looked at you?" "He was staring at me, you know?" "Then I started checking him too." "Then I saw him here, we started talking in the water... then we kissed." "Who kissed who?" "I did." " I kissed him." " Is that true?" " It is true." " Why?" "Were you shy?" " No." " No..." "I didn't expect such a fast attitude." " But it was good." "You liked it." " Yes." "And you, how did it happen?" "He wanted to talk to my girl friend." "And she's with her boyfriend here." "I told him." "He didn't believe it." "Then it happened." "I don't know." "Because he grabbed and kissed her there in the water." "But how's that?" "You wanted to have the other one... you can have the other, then this one will do it..." "It happens." "And now you want her to be your girlfriend?" "We exchange phone numbers to see what happens." "Yeah, after a good conversation we'll decide what to do." " And you, what do you think?" " I agree with him." "But you wanted to have a boyfriend orjust kiss?" "If he wants to be my boyfriend." "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" "Gee, what now?" "I have to think about it." "We'll think about it, we'll talk about it." "Do you want to get married?" "How's that?" "I don't want to get married." "Marriage?" "I'm too young." "Maybe in 20, 25 years." "Damn!" "No, I mean, if I get married, it will be at the age of 26." "I'm too young to get married." " How old are you?" " Seventeen." "Do you always come to Country?" "We always run into each other." "We don't have to set a place or time." "Like, everybody spends hours shopping before coming here... talking on the phone, killing time." "I'm a lawyer, I'm 24." "And..." "I work like a dog." "On weekends I'm always on the beach, having a good time." "Tell me, do you flirt with guys on the beach?" " Of course." " Sure." "In Rio this is the place to do that." "Specially on the beach." "How are things at home?" "Can you have sex before marriage?" " Yes, you can." " You can." "You must." "You should." "My father always says, the most important is the last one." "Then choose well your last one." "Do you think about living on your own?" "Not me." "Not yet." "I don't think it's worth a try." " You spend a lot of money." " It's not worth." "Money..." "I'll stay there as long as I can... to save enough for a good life... you spend a fortune to pay the rent... and at your parents' you have all you need." "You may help if they need, but you don't have to... spend half of your salary living on your own." "I don't feel like doing it." "Do you want a boyfriend?" "Want to get married?" "Tell me about it." "You're asking the wrong person." "I don't dream of a university degree." "I want to have a family." "Get married, have children." "I obviously want to have a profession, live on my own." "But I dream of having a family of my own." "Do you have a boyfriend, how are things?" "I have been seeing someone for 8 months." "I'm in love." "How cute." "Paulinho will love to hear that." "Do you come to the beach to hit on guys?" " No..." " It happens." "She's out of the market, right?" "She's got Paulinho." "No, she is ok with that, but he didn't come." "Where's Paulinho?" " Paulinho is in Boston." " He's at the mountains in Boston." "But you allow yourself to look at the boys, right?" "That too." "Who doesn't like to be courted?" "Who doesn't?" "If you can also look." " It's nice, it's good." " It doesn't hurt." "It's good." "Oh, oh" "Era, uera, auê" "Oh, oh" "Era, uera, auê" "I actually come To tell you" "Without you There's no place" "When I come to Rio" "To have an adventure" "I'm in love with you" "Cheese." "Cheese." "It's very lively in here." "People are fun." "As you could see over there, there's always "pagode"." "That's why we like to be here." "We met at the beach, today, now." "By accident, right?" "There's always new people." "We always meet new people here." "Is there a lot of flirting?" "A lot." "Have you ever got a boyfriend on the beach?" "Yes." "You can't not get a boyfriend on the beach, you know?" "It's summer-long." "The summer's up, it's over." "I'm Isadora." "I'm carioca." "This is Jacutinga beach." "It's a beach with a lot of nature." "Did you come here to meet someone?" "No." "No, I didn't come here to meet someone." "I came here to read, cool down, take a sea bath... relax." "Do you think people can be ok if they are alone?" "I think many people are not ok with that." "Do you have any dreams?" "A dream." "I do." "We all have dreams, don't we?" "I think I dream of... living in a beautiful place like this... like this Jacutinga beach." "Or like Guarda do Embaú." "Peaceful." "A family." "Beautiful like that." "Dogs, kids." "I guess we all dream of that, right?" " Beautiful dream." " What happened?" "It's a phase, it's the book." "I'm going through a moment of... of search, of trying to find." "I'm finding myself." "The beach helps." "This helps." " All gipsies read hands?" " All of them." "Only the men don't." "Only women." "You read the fortune of those who ask for." "Judges, police officers, anyone." "We only don't read the fortune of those who don't want to." " We read..." " How much do you charge?" "It's peanuts." " 5 reais." " Two." "If you want to help, 3." "You pay if you wish to, if you don't, you don't pay." "We don't demand that, we leave." "What can you do?" "Can you read someone's fortune now?" "She came to us." "For the love of God, please." " Are you scared?" " I don't know what..." " Are you nervous?" " I am." " What's your name?" " Aline." "Listen to what I say, ok?" "You'll have a long life." "A blessed one." "You have a good heart." "You're good." "Aline, for you to put in your name." "You have a rich person's name, but you're just neat." "You care about the people you love." "He loves you, he adores you." "He is hard on you, right?" "You'll have two children." "They will make you happy." " Thank God." " Wonderful." "There's nothing bad on your path." "Is this film going to be ok then?" "There's nothing on your way." "You are protected." "You have faith in God, don't you?" "You'll be very happy til the day you die." "Everything will be ok for your love." "Your work too." "Nothing bad for you." "You were born with a cross." "Nothing bad can happen to you." " Alright, thank you." " You are protected." " You liked that, huh?" " I liked it a lot." " Thank you very much." " That's how we do it." "They say, "They steal." No, that's not what we do." "If you want to pay, you pay." "Let's settle this." " That's not it?" " Ok." "You set the price, I'm paying you." " Thank you very much." " Did you mean it?" " Sure." " You'll be happy in love, ok?" " Thank you." " God bless you." "I wish that." "We'll see each other again some day." "My name is Luciene..." "I don't live here, but I was born in Rio, here in Barra." "I've been surfing for 8, 9 years." " Yeah." " Where did you start?" "A little bit here and a lot in Indonesia." "Do you live there?" "I live in California." "My boyfriend lives there and we've been together all this time." ""Girl, I went to California", is that it?" ""Girl, I went to California"" "Being there is also good because of the money, easy and fast... so I can travel anywhere, anytime, sort of." "It's hard to do that in Brazil, right?" "To make all this money." "How did you meet your boyfriend?" "I met him in Bali, hitting waves." "We used to drop on me." "He used to come after me." "He's from California." "He asked me to come to California, I liked it... of course, as long as I could return to Brazil... and we've been together ever since." "And do you think about getting married?" "We've been living together for 4 years, you know?" "It's a marriage." "Wearing a veil, garland, at a church, no way." "Maybe at a beach." "As beautiful as this one." "I said, gee" "That's her" "She said, laugh" "That's him" "I said, gee" "That's her" "She said, laugh" "That's him" "What time is it" "I can't hardly wait" "For the time when The ship leaves" "Screaming gee We have fun" "We think, "Nietzsche, Where's "la playa"" "And we dive We wet our skirt seams" "With bermudas or flip-flops Shorts, string-less tops" "And we dive We wet our skirt seams" "With bermudas or flip-flops Shorts, string-less tops" "A nice rain Smelling good" "Mixing green and Gray, making pink." "I paint, I play and say anything wonderful" "I paint, I play and say anything wonderful" "I said, gee" "That's her" "She said laugh" "That's him" "I said, gee" "Tell us how you two met." "When I met her, it was fun, wasn't it?" "I was lying on my belly, I saw that monument..." "I said, "What's that?"." "I thought, "This is not a woman, this is a butt, yummy"." "Damn." "I got here and she was holding a sun lotion." "I said, "can you lend me your sun lotion?"" "She said, "No, I won't." "I don't know you"." "There was a girl checking me out." "A blond one, right?" "I said, "You're playing hard to get?"" ""So I'll go talk to that blond girl over there, I'll kiss her... she'll soon get closer to me."" "I went there, talked to the blond girl, kissed her in front of her... and she was like that." "I said, "Good, I grabbed her attention."" "Then she wouldn't leave, she was there waiting." "The blond girl left... and then she said, "Well, you got what you wanted, huh?"" ""No, I didn't, boy." "I wanted you."" "That's when we talked about it and started going out." "I was not really into it in the beginning." ""The guy wants to be my boyfriend, he kissed that girl over there... wants to be my boyfriend." "Get out of here."" "The following day he went after me, called me..." ""Yeah, he meant it..." " I thought it was just..." " I told her... she is from the Baptist church, I'm from the..." "Seventh-day Adventists church." "Then I told her..." ""I was thinking about going to your church." "What should I do?"" "She gave me the address, I wore a suit, looking good, right?" "Then, bang, she was in love." "100% natural!" "Looking yummy!" "Looking good!" "Açaí, açaí!" "Good, huh?" "What does açaí have to do with it?" " Açaí." " Because... he was working as a security guard... and we thought it was not paying off... and we wanted to buy a house, right?" "We thought, "We should sell açaí now"... because we could work, have fun, take a sea bath... we are together, so it is very nice to work at the beach." "I love her very much." "That's her" "She said laugh" "That's him" "I said, gee" "That's her" "She said laugh" "That's him" "I said gee" "That's her" "She said laugh" "We met on the beach." "At old Pepê, down in Pepino." "Under a tent, sitting with a friend of his... he was playing "frescobol"..." "that is also very... carioca." "I said, "Gee, who's that cute boy playing "frescobol"?"" ""It's my friend, my friend."" "Then we managed to meet each other." "Once again, at the beach." "This is the guy." " Hi." " Hi." "I met this one at Pepê's stand in São Conrado." "She met me there." "She said, "Who's that guy?"" ""I want him for me"." "That was 20 years ago." "We've been on the beach since then." "Things haven't changed." ""Mate"." "Soda lemonade." "Tell us how you two met." "I got to the beach after he did..." "I laid down and..." ""It's a cloudy day"." "I drew some little suns where I was laid and he laughed." "He asked me if those were suns." "I said yes... because when I was little... my father used to say that when the weather was cloudy... if you drew suns, the sun would push the clouds away... and would come out." "I told him that and he laughed and that's how we met." "Chatting, I asked if he spoke Spanish... because that would be easier for me, I don't speak French... and that's how we met." "That was today?" "Today, a few hours ago." "He's cute, he's hot." "He's yummy." "We talked and it happened." "We can talk very well." "He speaks Spanish." "I speak Spanish also." "We talk in..." "Spanish, Portuguese, English and French." "We have conversations." "Say anything in Spanish to him." "Say anything in Spanish to him?" "I don't know." "An usual conversation." ""I like you very much"." ""I like you very much"." "A very handsome and loving man." "That's all." "100% natural!" "Açaí, açaí." "Açaí." "Açaí." " Hello, hello." " One açaí, please." "Think about it, I see that guy stopping everywhere." "What's so special about Farme?" "Why do you come here." "Because..." "I think there's this... charming thing about gays... right?" "They want a sun bath, but don't want trouble, you know?" "Just get a sun bath." "I live in Nice, it's been 10 years." "I've been out of the country since I was 17." "Where I live now... it is totally legal to say that you live... with someone of the same gender." "You know?" "If you die, you have the rights over the heritage." "Over the kids, too, problems, as well as... the financial side." "That's so nice, to be acknowledged." "Do you think there's still a lot of prejudice in Brazil?" "There is." "There will always be." "No doubt about it." "We still don't say black." "There goes the black." "Why?" "There's still racism." "Let alone homosexualism." "There's a long road ahead." "I like to walk naked at home." "I go to the stove, I walk naked, I get naked." "You know?" "I forget about clothes when I'm at home." "It's so good to feel free." "I can't breathe, I feel trapped with this upper part." "That bothers me." "I see that." "Some men have bigger boobs than mine." "Specially those who pump iron." "If they can, why can't I?" "That's the problem." "The laws are hypocrite." "I mean, if we show our boobs... we are arrested for public display, right?" "But mothers can show their breast to feed their children." "You know?" "But people will say..." ""But that is not arousing anybody's libido."" "Some people have a foot fetishe." "I see everybody walking barefoot... yeah, with their feet covered because of that." "You can't walk barefoot because some people have a fetishe... so, let me show my breast." "What the big deal?" "It's the symbol of the feminine fertility." "The symbol of women's power." "I do volunteer work at Arco-Íris Group." "Homosexual orientation." "I knew I liked women since I was 13." "But that was still very unconscious as a fantasy." "The first time I had a woman was at the age of 16." "It was funny, it happened at the most unlikely place." "I used to go to a Kardecist center at that time... and I used to hang around the toilet." "I had no problems to accept who I am... because I believe people only accept us... if we accept ourselves in the first place." "There's only one." "What has changed?" "Bikini, sand?" "Tatuí is gone." "Bikinis are increasingly smaller." "I still think they are too big." "My mother's dress was a long pair of pants... up to the sheen." "And the long-sleeved shirt up to here." "That was a bathing suit." "I was 6, 8, 9 years old." "When there were no waves, she would get into the water... she would splash some water on her and leave." "But that didn't happen frequently." " Then there was the swimsuit." " The one piece swimsuit." "Men had to bring shirts from their houses." "They couldn't come shirtless." "You had to have a shirt." "That's how different it was." "I'd go with my bunch to the beach, I lived in Ipanema already." ""Let's go to Arpoador today?" "It's noon already." "Let's go to Arpoador?" "Yes, sure."" "You know why?" "It was the fun part." "Naked dive." "It was us, 14,15 years old, out there... right at the beginning, on the other side... at the beginning, naked bath." "We would dive." "There was nobody there after noon." "In June, July, when we had our school vacation." "And there was a hood in Ipanema." "Huge hood." "Now it's all sand, right?" "I'm going home." "What did the clothes on the beach use to be then?" "There were no G-strings, right?" "It was a one piece swimsuit." "Some girls would try a small bikini..." "Those were not bikinis, those were two-piece suits." "I never wore that myself, cause I didn't have the right body." "But they wore two pieces and it got smaller and smaller." "Now it's nothing, isn't it?" "Just a string and that's all." "I never wore a one piece, only bikinis." "How was that?" "When they invented the bikini?" "I never wore a one piece after that, those big things." "Do you think you are a modern person?" "I'm very modern." "I love that." "I only wear things like that... happy, living colors." "I like huge earrings." "Colares." "What do you think about the bikinis?" "I think it's beautiful, but I don't like to wear them." "Because of my age, you know?" " She doesn't mind." " She likes them." "She does." " What do you think of her?" " She's "trendy", you know?" "I give her a 10." "I'm all carioca." "I like small bikinis, they are beautiful." "I do what I feel like doing." "And when they hit on you, don't you feel bad?" "No, I don't care." "I am committed." "Every woman enjoys that." "To know that they are complimenting on you." "That you're being courted." "I work with waxing." "Women want to be hairless, they want to go to the beach." "It's hard in the beginning, but then you get into it." "Any exotic requests?" "Yes." "From this sexy women." "I guess most women are, right?" "But some are more... like, shy." "While other are more exotic." "And what do these ones ask?" "Little hearts and stars." "Boyfriend's name or, "I love you"." " How's that?" " You start at the top... with a little heart." "Oops!" " Pattern waxing, as they call it." " Yeah, pattern waxing." "My first heart was done by a friend." "Then I asked for a Brazilian waxing as a gift to my husband." "Butterflies too." "Yeah, there's the butterflies." "Was it for a special occasion?" "Yes, it was his birthday." "Vanessa?" "Are you blond?" "No, I'm a brunette." "They like me more when I'm blond." "Bags." " What's your name?" " Vítor." "Do you like her blond?" "I like them blond." "I only like blondies." " Have you seen her brunette?" " No." "Aren't you even curious about that?" "No." "I don't think I'd like that." " Why?" " I don't like brunettes." "You're a brunette, but your hair is all dyed in blond." "I dye it." "I like it." "It looks better." "You put on shorts, some oil on the legs... put on shorts, a top, you go out like that." "Looks good." "It gets all smooth." "You catch some looks." "I used this." "It's H2O2 and ammonia." "Better than "Blondor"." "You mix H2O2 and ammonia." "You make a paste and that makes them blonde." "What did you put in there?" ""Blondor", H2O2, laundry detergent." "Man, now you just have to apply on your hair." "One, two, three, four." "One, two, three, go!" "I thought about the surf school on a Sunday morning." "I asked a surfer who was getting out of the water... to help me." "He talked to Jean..." "Get a small board." "Will we learn how surf on a long board?" "Yeah, you'll go on a big board, OK?" "It's a social work." "Some don't pay, some pay so that we can afford boards." "Some don't pay because they can't afford it." "They live in "favelas", they are sons of doormen." "We only ask them to keep studying... and let them take the class." "No charge." "The only condition is the school, you know?" "And they don't pay." "We put them all together... to integrate them... so they develop as human beings." " What's your name?" " William." "My dream is to stand and get a tube." "What's the tube?" "What's the tube like?" "The tube closes and it comes underwater." "It's all blue." "We would like to know what the beaches mean to you." "I grew up in the countryside of São Paulo til I was 12..." "I used to spend a week on the beach." "When I had enough money, I said, "Rio de Janeiro, here I go"." "The beach means a lot to me..." "it's like meditating... it's where I search inspiration, tranquility, health." "I feel more comfortable in here." "I wear dresses and sandals more often." "When I want to get some inspiration... or find a solution to a problem..." "I sit on the beach and watch the sea." "One day at a time, that's what the waves teach you." "How was that?" "I can't describe it." "I'm still shaking, but it's so good." "You have to jump." "The water is green over here, but farther there... there's a blue line." "It's beautiful, beautiful." "I still have to spend a New Year's day in Rio." "To see the reveillon in Copacabana." "It's not the same if you see it on TV." "Cariocas have a deep connection to Copacabana... because this was the first district in Rio... people were born facing the ocean... and spend their whole lives staring at the sea." "There has always been... beautiful people sitting next to ugly ones, right?" "Black, white, rich, poor, foreigners..." "Brazilians, I mean, the sand is really... where democracy is." "I mean, there, the human being is reduced to... a pair of shorts and sandals, if much, right?" "That is the minimum common thing to human beings... and perhaps that brings the best qualities of a person up... because what really matters is that zone, on the sand." " That's all?" " That's fine, Rui... thank you." "We'll talk to you later." " Thank you." " Thank you." " Have a nice start." " Thank you." "Thank you." "Happy new year!" "We're getting married this year!"
