With never-before-seen footage, shows and rare interviews, the series bets on the irreverent way of the Brazilian music to narrate its own trajectory.

1968년 12월, 국제적으로 명성이 높은 뮤지션 카에타누 벨로주는 브라질 군사 정권에 의해 납치되어 54일간 투옥된다. 그로부터 50년 후, 영화는 카에타누가 감금 기간 동안의 고통스러운 기억을 회상하며 노래를 부르는 모습을 섬세하게 그려 낸다.

The history of Rio de Janeiro's biggest football rivalry: Flamengo vs Fluminense.

If you thought TV shows in which audiences and juries judge musical acts were a relatively new phenomenon, you'd better think again. In the 1970s, such "festivals" were incredibly popular in Brazil. They were recorded before a live studio audience, and usually featured a number of elimination rounds. They also formed the springboard for the career of many a big-name star, such as Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Roberto Carlos and Gilberto Gil. Appearing on such a program was no cakewalk, however: audiences could be as wild in their condemnation as in their appreciation of an artist. Extensive archive footage (including performances and behind-the-scenes interviews) from a turbulent final of the Festival of Brazilian Popular Music one evening in 1967 paints a fascinating picture, not only of the transformation of Brazilian music into real "festival" music, but also of a society starting to buck against the yoke of military rule.
