A ALEGRIA
THE JOY

Logline
THE JOY is a fairy tale about youth and courage. It tells the story of 16-year-old Luiza, who is tired of hearing about the end of the world. On Christmas Eve, her cousin João is shot in a poor neighborhood and disappears in the middle of the night. A few weeks later, while alone in her apartment in a middle class neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Luiza finds a mysterious guest waiting for her in the living room: João, as a ghost, asking her to be hidden there.
