Gianfrancesco Guarnieri was a highly successful actor on television, a fundamental author in the history of Brazilian theater and the synthesis-image of the engaged artist. His sons Flávio and Paulo, also actors, assumed a total distance between art, work and politics. From these two generational portraits, the grandson and director Francisco seeks to reflect on the role of the individual in society and in art.
