Eduardo Savella

Anezia dos Santos talks about her childhood in the Vila de Operários da Sociedade Anônima Fábrica Votorantim, in the interior of São Paulo.

After losing his home, town, work and love, a poet travels far away and eventually finds the way back through parallel dialogues with his absent friends.

Hélio is a police chief who wants to free his town from the hands of Paulo, owner of a rundown nightclub that conceals criminal activities behind the stage where young girl Mariana performs every night. Mariana is a dancer who dreams of leaving town alongside her brother, Paulo's henchman, who is missing and being pursued by the police chief. This situation ties Hélio's to Mariana's destiny, who remains trapped in a life of cyclical actions and frustrations, forcing her to immerse in representations as if they constituted all reality. On his journey, the police chief befriends the girl, tries to help her, but they can't escape a brutal clash of interests, which leads both of them, and the city as a whole, to a tragic end.

Savella travels to Italy. There, he discovers Rome, its landscapes and monuments. He remembers, among the ruins, where he came from and what motivated him to leave and return.

The bad day of a film buff at the Cinematheque. A stranger projects herself on the screen and changes its course.

Savella recalls an old story, an old knowledge, reads Buñuel and prepares his drink, Pinga Seca.
