Collective film with five segments around the works and life of brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade.

From Italian set designer to Brazilian stage director, Gianni Ratto, born in Italy in 1916 and based in Brazil since 1954, retraces the geographical path of his life, accompanied by his daughter, passing through Genoa, Milan, Florence, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, visiting places and people who marked his journey. At each encounter, Gianni speaks of his work and reveals the ideas of someone who not only executes but also thinks about theater from a humanist perspective.

The story follows three Brazilian women from the same family who arrive in Basilicata to vacation and discover their Italian roots. Each is at a different stage of life, facing romantic challenges and personal vulnerabilities, yet all share a quest for authentic happiness—the kind rooted in genuine human connections and simple moments.

Ten stories or one. Ten moments in the timeline: 1972, 1999, 1550, 2083, 1891, 2012, 1618 – and the same reality: violence giving the final face to relations in brazil. a slave revolt on a coffee plantation, the torture of an indian, the kidnapping of an ambassador, jews hiding from the inquisition, a tortured woman who sees her torturer in the audience to which she tells the crime committed by him, father and son talking during the second war, a widow who lost everything in “ensiling crisis” and is forced to marry and lose her freedom.

Leandro is a young man frustrated by his job. His master’s thesis is on the military dictatorship in Brazil. That takes him into a search for recently deceased artist Jairo Mendes’ controversial film The Beheading Game, which was censored by Brazilian censors in 1973.
