The recent rerelease of the films made by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade (1932-1988), the late Brazilian filmmaker whose career included from documentaries - such as "The Master of Apicucos" (1959) on the writer Gilberto Freyre and "Garrincha - Joy of the People (1962) - to emblematic fiction films on the Brazilian identity i.e. "Macunaíma" (1969), has allowed the rediscovery of a key Cinema Novo figure. Joaquim's elder daughter, Alice de Andrade, directs this documentary on her father and revisits her family's memories. In this intimate investigation, one can recognize an oeuvre that is deeply rooted in critical events and personalities of Brazil, whose history was changed forever by the opposition to the brutal military dictatorship.
