A musical documentary on the popular 'brega' music from the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.

A feature documentary on the life of Alzira Espíndola and her impact and influence on different generations of Brazilian music. From her origins on Mato Grosso do Sul to her breakthrough as a instrumentist and composer in São Paulo, the movie explores her life, work and ventures with partners such as Itamar Assumpção, Ney Matogrosso and her sister Tetê Espíndola with irreverence and erudition.

A multimedia performance, a film concert, and a documentary that expands onto the stage. On stage, musicians Luiz Paixão and Renata Rosa revisit their careers, improvise tunes with their fiddles, and recreate themselves in their memories.

Helping to preserve a sonorous language that is steadily disappearing, this film is part of a longer multimedia project exploring the tradition of church bell ringing throughout cities in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In its tender, drifting exploration of the art and meaning of the bells, the film patiently reveals the quieter, inconspicuous details and tangential stories of those within resonant range.
