As Constituintes de 88

Inspired by the memories of Walter Lima Jr., this film traces the history of Brazilian cinema through the many adaptations (both completed and abandoned) of Inocência, a classic of Brazilian literature.

In 1964, days after the military coup, entrepreneur Assis Chateaubriand created the campaign “Gold for the good of Brazil”, through which he invited the Brazilian population to donate assets to pay the country’s external debt. By charting an eye over the campaign and the political moment at the time, the film is an analysis about history through the memories of yesterday and today.

In 1964, days after the military coup that established the dictatorship in Brazil, Gustavo Dahl, filmmaker and thinker of Brazilian cinema, writes a letter to his friend Glauber Rocha, who was in Cannes presenting his film 'Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol'.
