And it’s out a third story window. As the drama begins, a husband and wife are seen arguing on the third-floor patio of an urban apartment building.
‘Who shirt is this,’ demands the husband in Portuguese. The wife angrily flings the shirt into a whooping crowd that has gathered below.
Their fight is juicy enough as is, but just off to the side a man appears in the couple's window.
Shirtless and angry, the man may be an adulterer but he's awfully quick-thinking. He tosses out the window an escape rope he's managed to fashion from knotted t-shirts and bravely begins to climb down.
On a window sill below, he stops. The cackling crowd mocks both him and the woman’s husband.
‘Cornudo,’ the growing audience yells at the husband, a Portuguese word for a man being cheated on. As if a Hollywood celebrity had just fallen from the sky, the passersby hoot and ogle and snap photos.
They chant ‘JUMP!’ as emergency workers arrive to assist the struggling man. And he does just that.
A soft mat is placed below the shirtless man and the crowd cheers as leaps and bounces down to the street.
Barefoot and scowling, the shirtless man gives the woman and her husband a good shake of the fist, then shakes it at the crowd for good measure and marches out of view.
