Synopsis:
Altinha’, the sport inspired by soccer warm-ups that emerged on Rio’s beaches, is now a phenomenon practiced by thousands the entire length of the city’s sandy shoreline, and even on hard surfaces. Being collaborative and inclusive, it continues to spread and is now a craze in dozens of Brazilian cities, and even abroad. More than a sport, altinha has become a philosophy of play: the participants, arranged in a circle, keep the ball in the air without using their hands, trying to do so for as long as possible, in search of a perfect state of harmony and flow.
