In Vila Vintém (RJ), there is an unspoken entity, still very present in the history of the older residents. The strips of plastic bags that make up its body are the same that lead us to these hidden memories. The film evokes the manifest power of the Gorila de Saco in the alleys and side streets where it was marked by violence, through the spell of the new entity: the Gorila de Malha.
