On 17 May 1931, the young director Mário Peixoto released his masterpiece "Limite" in a premiere in Capitólio Theater in Rio de Janeiro to astonished audiences bewildered by the impressive and poetic images. Considered by many viewers the best Brazilian movie ever made, this feature has never been released commercially. However, in a great paradox, Mário Peixoto has never made any other movie. The director Sérgio Machado pays a great tribute to the life and work Mário Peixoto a.k.a. Maçarico by his close friends with this documentary, using his diary; footages of "Limite", the never concluded "Onde a Terra Acaba" (1933) and the short "O Homem do Morcego" (1980); and interesting testimonies of Olga Breno, Ruy Solberg, Nelson Pereira dos Santos and Walter Salles among others.

The documentary recounts the trajectory of the boxers Reginaldo "Holyfield" and Luciano "Todo Duro", who found in boxing a way to escape misery and became two of the greatest idols in the sport. The rivalry between them mobilized the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in the 1990s. For more than 20 years they both hated each other so much that they could not share the same space without attacking each other. They faced each other 6 times, with 3 wins for each side. During the filming, the enemies, already over 50, decided to face each other for the last time.

This documentary traces the impact of the State Centers for Youth and Children Orchestras of Bahia and the program's powerful community music projects.

Jorge Amado was an aggregator and throughout his life formed a large collection of friends from all over the world, from the most diverse backgrounds and occupations. Many of these friends were important names in 20th century culture and thought. His house was always open to them, in a permanent celebration of the joy of living and the union between people. Among these friends, three had special importance: Caymmi, Verger, and Carybé. It is the history of this friendship, which went beyond real life and penetrated art and the battle for the valorization of popular culture, that our project dives into. A friendship that became the salt of Brazilian life.
