A love letter to Brazilian cinema disguised as a documentary about a man who filmed love letters.
The documentary presents an overview of Vladimir Carvalho's cinematographic career, from the very beginning, as a co-writer of “Aruanda” (1960), directed by Linduarte Noronha, to the present day. With Vladimir himself as the main narrator and illustrated by scenes from his films, the documentary also features interviews with Gilberto Gil, Orlando Senna, Arnaldo Carillo, Dácia Ibiapina, Fernando Duarte, Sérgio Moriconi, among others.
