When a great flood forces every creature to board Noah's Ark two-by-two, two unlikely mouse friends refuse to be left behind: Vini, a gifted poet whose crippling stage fright hides a tender soul, and Tito, a smooth, magnetic guitarist with a knack for improvisation. With a clever cockroach as their ally and a streak of lucky timing, they slip aboard as stowaways and quickly find themselves caught in the middle of mounting hostility between the ark’s carnivores and herbivores. To keep peace and lift the animals’ spirits during forty long days and nights, the pair turns to music—performing timeless songs shaped by the spirit of Vinicius de Moraes—and must discover whether melody and courage can calm old instincts and knit a fragile community together.
