Documentary about the trajectory of the Brazilian journalist, writer and politician Fernando Gabeira. With testimonies of Armínio Fraga, Aguinaldo Silva, Leda Nagle, among others.

Gabeira

The documentary presents Marcos Medeiros, a character in Brazil's recent history. Marcos was a students movement leader in 1968. Arrested, tortured, impeached and exiled in Europe, Marcos started to dedicate himself to the cinema, having made short films with Chris Marker in France, a feature-length film with Glauber Rocha in Cuba and having later worked with Roberto Rossellini in Italy. Returning to Brazil, in the 80's when the political amnesty was conceded, Marcos starts a pioneer work in video, but does not find space to pursue his non-mainstream art. His inability to become integrated into a bourgeois society with no utopias leads Marcos to develop depression. He dies in 1997 following a long treatment at a psychiatric institution.
