A criação da Babel despeja pelo mundo homens que falam línguas diferentes: todos os rostos, corpos e vozes de Paulo José, encarnados nos personagens que o ator interpretou em sua carreira no teatro, na televisão e no cinema. Este filme é um ensaio cinematográfico sobre este que é um dos maiores artistas do Brasil, no ano em que completa 80 anos de vida.
Collective film with five segments around the works and life of brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade.
Based upon the life story of Father Antonio Vieira, born in Lisbon in 1608 and deceased in Salvador, Bahia, in 1697. He's considered the first Brazilian writer and one of the most important aesthete of linguistic and of the Portuguese language of all times, a master in the art of metaphor, of verbal relations and analogy. He was persecuted and condemned by the Portuguese Court of Inquisition due to his position against native slavery, against the intolerance to the Jewish people and to the colonial politics of exploration.
