Life in a middle-class neighborhood in present day Recife, Brazil, takes an unexpected turn after the
arrival of an independent private security firm. The presence of these men brings a sense of safety
and a good deal of anxiety to a culture which runs on fear. Meanwhile, Bia, married and mother
of two, must find a way to deal with the constant barking and howling of her neighbor's dog.
A slice of 'Braziliana', a reflection on history, violence and noise.
