Reaching for the Moon
In 1951 newyork poet Elizabeth Bishop travels to Rio de Janeiro to visit a college friend, Mary. Sensuality overwhelms the bashful Elizabeth. She's the antithesis into the running partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares of Mary. The architect makes a play for Elizabeth, although frosty at first and the poet finally succumbs to the progress of Lota. Unconventional Lota is determined to have both women at all costs, although mary is jealous. Their ménage à trois has been thrown off balance if Lota starts work on her project to date, designing Parque do Flamengo in Rio. Elizabeth takes a academic instruction article in the women and the USA drift apart. Lota, in the other times is inconsolable. This triangle works from the back ground of this military coup of 1964. Bishop's moving poems are at the core of a film which exemplifies a stage in the life of this Pulitzer poet
