Mango Yellow

"Mango Yellow" describes the experiences of a group of larger-than-life characters: a waiter, a gay chef, a butcher and his evangelical wife, as they pursue romantic encounters and misadventures, unrealised dreams and illusions around the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife. The yellow of the title is an allusion not to anything golden, but to the mildewed tones of ageing and the stresses of everyday life.
