Starting from a real square in the Brazilian city of Recife, this documentary describes at the same time a place, a city and a country. A portrait of contemporary urban life that reflects Brazilian society and many others throughout the world.

In the skilful hands of Renata Pinheiro and Sergio Oliveira, a small and overlooked square in Recife opens a window onto modern urban life in Brazil—and beyond. A treat for the senses, Walt Disney Square reminds us of the everyday beauty that life in the city makes us often quick to dismiss.
