- Almost a century after the passing of the renowned Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, Professor Cleonice Berardinelli and Maria Bethânia meet to recite, learn and talk about Pessoa and his "inexistent friends" that wrote trough him.
- A journey in the history of the Brazilian songbook with a special look at the relationship between poetry and music.
- Letrux is one of the most inventive artists of the new Brazilian music scene. "Life is a frenzy" is a medium-length documentary (36') that follows the artist in São Pedro da Aldeia (RJ/BR), a small seaside town where she isolated herself during the Covid-19 pandemic. Amid the idyllic refuge of a beautiful and empty city, the movie follows paths of discoveries based on the recovery of teenage diaries and family videos made in the early 90s in the same region. From isolation to the return to the stage at Circo Voador (RJ), in 2022, the documentary brings a creative reconstruction of memories and an intimate encounter with Letrux's poetic and humorous imaginary.
- Mangueira is Brazil's most popular samba school. In 2016, it won the championship of the Carnival of Rio with a parade in homage to Maria Bethânia, the diva from Bahia, who has a 50-year career and is Caetano Veloso's sister. The doc followed the creation of this carnival in all stages, from the first drawings and rehearsals to the construction of the allegories and the winning parade. Our crew also traveled with Maria Bethânia to Santo Amaro, her hometown in the interior of Bahia, discovering particularities that inspired the creation of this Carnival, such as her peculiar religious universe, which congregates candomble and Catholicism, the parties inherited from the slaves, and the openness of her house to the local community. As we tell the story of Bethania's hometown and the victorious carnival of Mangueira, we establish links between Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, focusing historical issues like the birth of samba, racism and religious tolerance.
