Description
Nisa, a beautiful princess from Brazil, is concerned over the destruction of her homeland and the rainforests by a giant, multinational corporation and travels to Los Angeles to meet with the company's chairman. She is prevented from arranging a meeting so she accepts a job as a maid to make ends meet while she's in America. She falls in love with Jason, the handsome son of her employer, and teaches him the passionate and erotic dance of her home-- Lambada. Together they decide the only way to deliver the message to the American people is to enter a Lambada dance contest.
