In the sultry heat of Brazilian afternoon, a young man, hungry for release, begins his solo dance. He's a self-proclaimed 'safado', a term that's equal parts charming and lewd, and he knows what he wants. His 'novinha', a girl young enough to be innocent, old enough to know desire, is the star of his mental film. He pictures her, shy but eager, her small body writhing as he touches her in places she's never been touched before. His hand is her body, his fantasy, their reality.
