四位巴西新浪潮导演联合创作的一部短片集锦。其实不算很“情色”，倒是故事都很值得回味。
Comedy in 4 segments. In "Arroz e Feijao" (Rice and Beans), owner of a boarding-house seduces her young countryboy tenant. In "As Tres Virgens" (The Three Virgins) three spinsters are influenced by the behaviour of their teenager niece, whom they are lodging. In "O Arremate" (The Purchase) a colonist turns his virgin daughter in to a landowner, to have his debts forgiven. And, finally, in "Vereda Tropical" (Tropical Trail), a man becomes sexually obsessed by a watermelon, to the point of having sexual intercourse with it. The stories are based on prize-winner short stories, from a Playboy contest.

在弹丸大小的丛林之中，一老妪奇迹般地产下男孩Macunaima。出生既已成人的Macunaima为了实现生命的意义，带领着家人朋友们踏上了去往大都市的旅程。一路上，光怪陆离之事接二连三地发生，但Macunaima仍保持着一颗纯真的童心。到达了城市之后，他阴差阳错地被恐怖分子拉去闹革命，并经历了种种荒诞滑稽的事件，也从中对生活有了更深的理解……。这部由同名小说改编的电影为新浪潮运动注入了新的审美理念，影片融合了流行喜剧元素与通俗“热带主义”，在60年代末期的电影中具有标志性的意义。
