Tailor Uncle Flores used to love bright colors but now makes only gray overalls for the local environment-ruining factory. When they cut his job, Flores's nephew, Edinho, encourages him to make colorful curtains; soon, the townspeople also paint their houses and start desiring brighter clothes again. Intricate collages hint at the town's transformation. An afterword illuminates conditions in contemporary Brazil and the universality of the issues.
