Summary

Discover the sights and sounds of Brazil through the eyes of a young girl and her great-grandmother as they share in the excitement of Carnaval!

Llegó el carnaval y Clara está impaciente por celebrar su fiesta favorita con su familia, pero especialmente con su bisabuela. Aunque Bisa no pueda asistir, Clara sabe que el desfile del carnaval será especial.

Amorosamente disfrazados por su bisabuela, los niños salen a la calle a festejar. Sin embargo, falta algo entre todos los colores, los disfraces, la música y el baile... ¿o quizás falte alguien?

It's time for Carnaval and Clara cannot wait to celebrate her favorite holiday with family, but especially with her great-grandmother. Even if Bisa can't attend, Clara knows the Carnaval parade will still be special.

Costumed lovingly by their bisa, everyone takes to the street for the annual parade. But even among all the colors, costumes, music, and dancing, something is missing... or is it someone?
