THE STORY

Friday night, the night before the wedding. Thiago has walked Daniel down to an old hall by the sea, and the surprise is his stag party, a capoeira circle with his friends from childhood and his old master. Daniel stops at the door and asks if he can just watch. Twenty minutes later the master calls him into the circle, and an hour later he is sitting on the floor, counting how many times he fell. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
