Bernardo has turned 90 and is working to realize a dream: to make a film about art. He spends countless hours writing the script. He understands it's an arduous and complex task: What is art? When is there art? What is the purpose of art? Antonio, his friend, decides to collaborate, lending his knowledge and experience to the project. Marcelo meets Bernardo through Lucy, his partner of over 60 years, and finds him deep in his work, immersed in the uncertainties, frustrations, and joys inherent in any creative process. Watching him work, something of Bernardo's dream awakens in Marcelo a desire, another dream. He offers his help, while also asking to be able to capture Bernardo's daily work with his own eyes, thus creating his film. A dream that gradually shifts from the work Antonio sculpts on Bernardo's camera to Marcelo's gaze.
