Bubbles Callahan is drifting. She’s finished her 2-year degree in graphic design, but her job search has led to nothing. Meanwhile, she’s been holding down a nowhere job at a pharmacy, while knocking around Philadelphia with her slacker boyfriend, Sully, the obsessive record junkie. Bubbles taste in music runs to current hip-hop with occasional ironic forays into 70’s disco. That is, until she discovers the music of Miles Davis and his 1959 jazz classic, ‘Kind of Blue’. As her growing obsession with the music of Miles Davis expands into her exploration of his 70’s electric period, an impulsive trip to Rio de Janeiro with a new boyfriend takes an unexpected turn as she finds herself injured and stranded in ‘Rocinha favela’ the infamous slum of Rio.
