Founded in 1968, in a tiny space of 18 square meters in Copacabana, Bip Bip is a Rio de Janeiro cultural heritage site. The bar reflected the spirit of its owner, the emblematic Alfredinho. The film is an affectionate record of his wake, a ceremony that began at the bar table and filled the St. John the Baptist cemetery with joy and longing on a carnival Saturday.
