A Pedra Fundamental

Through the stories of Madá, Jão and Osmar, the work talks about achievements and the price we are willing to pay for them.

In childhood, Agrado meets João Raul during a radio contest in the countryside of Goiás. Like her, the boy dreams of becoming a singer, and the two decide to perform together a song composed by Agrado. However, unforeseen events separate them and lead to a misunderstanding that keeps them apart for many years. João Raul, now a major country music star, uses his social media platforms to search for Agrado, “the girl from his past,” who, unlike him, is still struggling to establish herself in the music industry.

Laura is a forty-three year-old actress, married to a man ten years younger who used to be her fan. She became widely known when she played a part in a soap opera in a big TV channel. After the end of her contract, Laura becomes severely depressed. Her inability to pursue her projects and to cope with reality affects her mental balance even more, and she drives away everybody around her.
