"When the wax that inhabits the soul is deeply and abundantly, tenderly and sufficiently kneaded, every thing that is transmitted through the channel of sensations will be engraved in the heart of the soul” - Socrates

After a few years, Mateus and Bruno meet again and a story without an end is about to resurface.

In 1977, acclaimed filmmaker Maria Clara Lacerda won the Palme d'Or at Cannes with Absence, a hauntingly personal film inspired by her passionate relationship with journalist Pedro Ferraz. Years later, following a long separation, Maria Clara returns to Brazil and agrees to an interview with Pedro—an encounter that would go down in history. Now, decades on, previously unseen footage of the moments leading up to that fateful conversation resurfaces. Through restored images, the film uncovers a raw, intimate perspective of that day, revealing long-buried truths, silences, and emotions lost to time.
