Synopsis
Estação Primeira de Mangueira, the largest samba school in the world, prepares for Carnival 2016 after a 14-year title drought. The film follows thousands of participants as they dedicate a year to reclaiming their former glory. The loss of their official vocalist, who had led the school for 17 years, casts a shadow over their efforts. Behind the scenes, the community rallies together, culminating in Mangueira's victory as the best samba school in 2016.
