The film tells the story of an intuitive, adventurous man who loved his country and being Brazilian. This man fought to be loyal to himself. His music is a transparent portrait of his genius, intuition, freedom, adventure, and passion for Brazil. The story shows aging Villa-Lobos going to a gala concert in the Theatre of Rio de Janeiro for a tribute in his honor. This is the last time he is coming out of his house alive. His looks are feverish and attentive. Different scenes of the concert will bring back memories of his life. Villa-Lobos suffers a great many ordeals: his father's violence; his mother's sadness; his first wife Lucilia's disaffection, inability to have children, and rejection of his art; the possible loss of his great love Mindinha; and the abyss between genius and madness. The pieces of this puzzle recreated chronologically confirm his personality: energetic and fragile, humble and megalomaniac, amorous and egocentric, brilliant and naive, adventurous and independent, sensitive and brutal.
