A lighthearted midlife-crisis comedy about a buttoned-up Londoner who escapes his mundane life through crime and samba, finding reinvention and joy in Rio.

Discovering your wife is sleeping with your boss can make a man do strange things. For a Samba-obsessed London clerk, robbing a bank and boarding the first flight to Rio are just the beginning.
