The documentary is a dive into this universe that Ariano Suassuna built with his Art (work) and his Life. His novels and characters. Your utopias. Your Quaderna, as the driving force behind this mix. Theater performances. Poems. Show classes. Popular culture. The cordel. The rabeca. Brazil and its stones. The Armorial Movement. Their readings and representations. Based on unpublished interviews with artists and friends (family), as well as Ariano himself and a tour of his home, the documentary recreates his universe.
In 1940s São Paulo, Pedro’s tasked to retrieve his estranged brother André. André’s departure stems from a domineering father, an overly affectionate mother, and Pedro’s jealousy over the father’s favoritism. Further complicating matters is André’s unconventional relationship with their sister, Ana.
