A documentary on the life and work of Amácio Mazzaropi, a phenomenon of popularity and profitability of Brazilian cinema.

An evening in an old time dance hall in Sao Paulo introduces us to local characters who reminisce about the past, wonder about the future, have fun, flirt, fight and, of course, dance. Its earthy humour and eternal themes of ageing, loneliness and desire is an antidote to grumpy old men and women everywhere.

This documentary, produced by the Mazzaropi Institute, shows movie scenes, testimonials of researchers, historians, intellectuals, and popular artists. As a bonus, it shows parts of Mazzaropi's last appearance on TV, on Hebe Camargo Show.
