Starting from a starting point of a bus line, the film discusses the deficiencies of urban transport and the problems caused to workers. Interviews reveal a population on the periphery that was the hidden counterpoint to the economic miracle. In the big image of the film, the cameraman travels hanging on the bus, along with other passengers. This subjective image in the narrative places the viewer on the side of the population who daily risk themselves to go to work.

A documentary of profound irony about the bourgeois dream of establishing a film industry in Brazil in the 1930s. The project in question, the Companhia Americana de Filmes, went bankrupt before finishing its only film, which was called 'Eterna Esperança' (Eternal Hope).

A funny chronicle of the São Paulo middle class in the 1970s, based on a simple but effective premise: a primary school class meeting, 20 years later. Retrato de Classe starts from a photo of the junior class of a private school, in a middle class neighborhood of São Paulo. He searches for and gathers former colleagues and a teacher, in order to recreate the group's trajectories, to draw the profile of the country's metropolitan bourgeoisie. A country in crisis and a middle class that was experiencing the collapse of the economic miracle. Frustrations, desires, prejudice and futility are part of this universe of people and their life trajectories.
