Vermilion Riptide — a lively drama
for solution-oriented times
Itapeaçu, Urucará, Prainha. The Amazonas names thrill Dominique,
and fill her with a fearful attraction for places where the boats
will touch shore again. Fervently wishing that she had even a
speck of the courage required to be that type of traveller, the
kind who just doesn't quit until they touch a thorny heart.
Brazil. Torn between mind-staggering beauty and incalculable
darkness, the country works its potent magic on two automotive
professionals from Scandinavia.
A harried Canadian consultant flies along on her husband’s foreign
assignment to Curitiba, south-west of São Paolo. A charmed life of
sumptuous benefits unfolds, ringed by wretched living conditions,
violence, and a murder investigation.
Dominique has designed and navigated an irreverent lifestyle
strictly on her own terms, so she is appalled that her captivating
new friend Aida’s basic freedoms and adulthood are being robbed.
When Jack spoils their dream scenario with a standard 'Carnaval'
fling, the distraught but pragmatic wife amuses herself with
precision revenge strategies and intoxicating Bahian magic.
