The film reasonably organizes the stories of two people suffering from psychological stress and real-life pain through two cases. The main line is clear, the conflicts are full-bodied, the clues are explicit, and the theme is prominent; at the same time, it contains suspense without being obscure for its own sake.

Is there an irreconcilable conflict between social responsibility and personal happiness? The foreigners living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the movie are all experiencing a self-contradictory and tortuous life. Charlotte Rampling plays a British plastic surgeon who strongly advises anyone considering plastic surgery to abandon the idea; Irina Jacob is a French anthropologist who is more interested in sex than politics; Bill Pullman, as an American ambassador, has been trying to escape his duties, so much so that he actually hides in Rio de Janeiro's most dangerous slum. The intertwining stories of these individuals create an interesting comedy, truly making Rio de Janeiro a land of miracles.
