Synopsis
In 1979, as Brazil endured troubled times amidst the Amnesty Law, Glauber Rocha participates in the program Abertura, for TV Tupi, in which he challenges a contradictory and erupting Brazil, full of utopias but always under the weight of century-old wounds. Forty years later, his daughter Paloma and partner Luís Abramo return to this recently restored material and counteract it with scenes from Glauber’s films – as well as against images from Brazil in 2018: a still troubled and contradictory country, which seems to chase the tail of its own history. (E. V)
