“In order to stem “the smell of poop” in the river that runs through the Italian immigrant village of Crystal Line in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul, Marina Marghera Figueiredo applies for government money to build a new sewer. Unfortunately, there are no funds allocated for sanitation, but there is a sizeable grant available to make a 10-minute fiction video. After much bickering with affable husband Joaquim and dad Otaviano, they decide to write and produce “The Sewer Monster” as a way to get the money to clean the river. (.. .) -Eddie Cockrell-”
