Rocinha è la favela più grande non solo di Rio de Janeiro, ma del mondo. È una baraccopoli gigantesca dentro la quale quotidianamente vivono, amano, lavorano, si picchiano, giocano, sognano e muoiono oltre 70 mila persone. Rocinha è il luogo dove sono ambientati quasi tutti i racconti del sole in testa. In questi tredici piccoli capolavori – salutati con entusiasmo in tutto il mondo – geovani Martins ci regala una serie indimenticabile di istantanee, di ritratti che non solo ci fanno entrare nell'universo crudo e spietato della favela – luogo di scontro tra diverse gang e dove la violenza della polizia spesso fa a gara con quella della criminalità – ma nelle menti e nei cuori delle persone, di quei ragazzi e di quegli uomini che quotidianamente cercano di inventarsi esistenza. I bagni di mare, l'estasi della droga, il cameratismo e le risate: qualsiasi cosa serve a rendere meno inaccettabile una realtà intrisa di angoscia, paura e disperazione..
