Gal Costa is the greatest singer in Brazil. From João Gilberto in Bahia to Tropicália and the memories of more than 50 years of career, what remains is the trance of his voice and enchantment on show stage.
Cinema was born as a double of the theater. Throughout history, these two artistic languages have connected in expression and distanced in experience. In three acts interspersed with fragments of Brazilian films and interviews, the aim is to reflect on concepts related to popular art, the state and freedom.
Through cinema, it is possible to recognize situations and think about them theoretically from other perspectives. Inspired by the discussion of the classic text by Mariza Peirano. The film uses excerpts from Brazilian filmography to reflect anthropological concepts such as culture, politics, ethnographic field and identity.
