Synopsis
In the heart of São Paulo stands a massive concrete building: Copan. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, it’s a symbol of modern Brazilian architecture and home to over 5,000 residents. Inside, tensions rise as an election for building administrator unfolds, after 30 years, the incumbent won’t step down easily. Outside, another election looms: Lula da Silva vs. Jair Bolsonaro. Copan becomes a microcosm of Brazil itself, a place where power, politics, and democracy collide.
