Antonio Carlos Gomes Belchior Fontenelle Fernandes, or simply Belchior, in a self-portrait that plunges into the wild heart of the poet, singer and composer from Ceará, Brazil who, with his work and his cutting ideas, marked and still marks the lives of so many people.
A host of personalities reminisce about the life and work of songwriter, lawyer, and congressman Humberto Teixeira — aka "Baião Doctor" — the author of such classic Brazilian popular songs as "Asa Branca". A musical film about the baião, a movement in Brazilian music in the 1940s and 1950s that was later snowed under by samba and bossa nova.
Three children, Cosmic, Luna and Maninho, live in a futuristic world, where lives are totally programmed. One night, while trying to get points to earn a bonus at school, they get lost in space and discover an infinite universe.
The documentary addresses the project, which took 30 years to complete, about the recording of 44 songs created for each poem in Mensagem, one of Fernando Pessoa's most emblematic books.
Recorded in 1973, during the laborious attempt to issue his first album, one of Belchior's various appearances was in the TV Cultura's intimate program "MPB Especial". In it, a still very young, open and relatively angry Belchior (as in the testimonial seen at the end of the program) presented himself to the public through an autobiographical dialogue, proving that the new always comes.
Belchior through comments narrates the paths of his life.
