João Gilberto Noll

A road movie that follows a solitary man as he sets of on a journey to the south of Brazil. The strange characters and absurd situations he encounters along the way present an extraordinary portrait of human relations.

Inspired by the book of the same name by Paula Dip, this is a biography of the Brazilian writer Caio Fernando Abreu. With a mixture of languages inherent to Caio F.'s work - cinema, theater, music and literature -, the narrative line is conducted through testimonies from family, friends, editors and scholars who maintained a relationship with the author. And actors who interpret their texts.

During the military dictatorship, a political militant takes his son out of the boarding school, and puts him temporarily in a friend's luxury and empty apartment in Copacabana beach. The son knows very little about his father, and the latter cannot really explain his activities to his son, fearing for his security. So the young man stands alone in the huge apartment, waiting for the infrequent meetings with his father, without really knowing what's going on.

A failed artist searching strength to move ahead. By a young lady, who might be his daughter, he develops a project that changes his destiny.
