Racha De Jesus

In the arid, scanty and poverty-stricken world, fetching water is the only way an old woman named Josa can do just to muster the fare that will bring her second family to Manila from an island in Batangas which is devastated by the eruption of the Taal Volcano.

In order to study fashion in so-desired Paris, a young country girl who hates Carnival travels to Rio de Janeiro to try to get support from the most famous designer in Brazil. Set on sneaking into the sewing team of one of the biggest samba schools, she will discover that Carnival only lasts for a week, but a love story can change her entire life.
