Une séance d'entraînement de capoeira, danse de combat née au Brésil, se déroule entre deux hommes sous les yeux d'une femme. La gestuelle, les regards, les mouvements de danse et d'acrobatie s'échangent entre les deux protagonistes, établissant une subtile hiérarchie et un jeu de pouvoir et de séduction.
