Much has been written about João Cabral de Melo Neto, but few are the audiovisual records of the poet. The film was made as from five encounters registered in 1999, where the writer speaks of literature, football, the ‘sertão’ uplands, music, bullfighting, and the flamenco, his great passions in life. Statements also show Recife and Sevilha, cities that he loved and that were to be unreconcilable for their countless differences had João Cabral not lived in them and had not his personality and his personal history not reflected on the streets and on the people.
