Memory, fantasy, and cinema come to life as young filmmaker Adolfo walks along the studio-named streets of Jd. Hollywood, on his way to meet his ex-boyfriend, the Californian Vincent.

After reading the story of the Pisadeira — a Brazilian folkloric tale — to his sister, young Thiago struggles to sleep and begins to believe he may be haunted by this folkloric entity.

"Mirror of Memory" documents the story of Guinho, a young man whose life was captured in various moments through the home videos recorded by his grandmother, Cida. Weaving these images together with audiovisual references Guinho narrates how Cida’s gaze helped him shape his own subjectivity and artistic sensibility.
