From one of Brazil's rising literary stars, an acclaimed novella
about the violation of a woman and a city, based on true events. It
is 2014. There is euphoria in Brazil, especially in Rio de Janeiro.
The World Cup is about to take place and the Olympics are in sight.
It is a time of hope and frenzied construction. Julia is a partner
with an architectural firm working on the future Olympic village.
During a break from a meeting at the town hall, she goes for a run
in the hillside neighbourhood of Alto da Boa Vista. There, a man
puts a revolver to her head, takes her to a secluded spot, and
rapes her. Left abandoned in the woods, she drags herself home,
where her boyfriend and family members are waiting for her. Vista
Chinesa brings light and shadow to a city whose stunning beauty
cannot conceal the most serious human and political problems, and
gives voice to a story that is tragically not uncommon.
