In Rio, Orfeo is a trolley conductor and musician, engaged to Mira. During Carnival week, he sees Eurydice, who's fled her village in fear of a stalker; it's love at first sight.

Later, during the revels, wearing Sarafina's costume, Eurydice dances a provocative samba with Orfeo.

Don't look back.
