Screenwriter Milo Noirlac is dying. As he lies in his hospital bed, voices from his past and present - real and imagined - come to him in the dark, each taking on the rhythm of his favourite Brazilian fight-dance, the capoeira. Seated next to him, Milo's partner, bumptious director Paul Schwartz, coaxes Milo through his life story, from the abuse he suffered as a foster child to his lost heritage, his beloved grandfather;s priceless library. As Milo narrates, his story becomes the pair's final screenplay, the movie that will be their masterpiece.
