“Grupo Corpo pela Música” is a documentary about the original Brazilian musical production created by the dance group from Minas Gerais over its 45-year history. In parallel with the production of its shows, Grupo Corpo has been consolidating a creative space for original Brazilian music, thus building a musical collection that marks its trajectory and that of the artists involved.

Diogo Álvares, a Portuguese map illustrator, reaches the Brazilian coast, after his caravel sinks. He is saved by the Indian chief Itaparica and his two daughters, Paraguaçu and Moema. They call him Caramuru and together they engage in a happy love triangle. But the chance to return to Portugal arises, and it is clear this amoral arrangement cannot last.

The dramatic documentary recounts eight stories of love affairs in which those involved experienced some kind of physical or psychological violence. The real cases are interpreted by professional actors. The question raised by the film is whether love can be freed from violence, prompting the viewer to reflect.

The documentary, narrated by Lenine, discusses the current linear economic model (exploration, production, consumption and disposal), which puts the future of life on our planet at risk. As an alternative, he studies Circular Economy, its new processes and the transformation in the way of thinking and seeing the world.
