Negro Leo, recording session.

With a constellation of black voices and presences, the short film takes a dizzying journey between ancestral and contemporary territories. On this mystical journey, sound and image devours celebrate the black poetry that anchors memories and discovers futures.

Earth is just a place. But it's not even a normal place, as most of the cosmos is empty. Normal is the vast and immense void, cold and universal, the eternal night of space in comparison with which the stars, its planets, already appear as something painfully rare and precious. If we were dropped at random into the cosmos, the probability that we would appear on the planet or even in its vicinity would be less than a part of a billion, a billion, a billion.

During one night, a woman walks through Rio de Janeiro, and hears the music around: jazz, rock, eletronica...

The vibrating effects of sound waves on a watery surface draws a haunting image. "UN" is a performance created and developed by brazilian sound artist bella.

Studies on sound based on the work of musician Arto Lindsay and the relationship of the body/camera with music. The film discusses art as lyrically as the biographee’s own work.
