Theater performances. Poems. Show classes. Popular culture. The cordel. The rabeca. Brazil and its stones. The Armorial Movement. Their readings and representations.

They all respond to two basic questions: why do they make movies and why do they serve the seventh art. The filmmakers share their thoughts about time, narrative, rhythm, light, movement, the meaning of tragedy, the audience‘s desires and the boundaries with other forms of art.
