Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos

The film documents the places where the Portuguese painter Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908-1992), and Hungarian Arpad Szenes were born, met, and lived together, painting, and living to each other.

A documentary that portrays not only the poet and painter Mario Cesariny but as well his life, his journey and his individuality.

The life and work of painter Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos (1923-2006), one of the most important artists of the portuguese surrealist movement, both in literature and the visual arts. Includes statements from the artist, his friends, and scholars of his artistic oeuvre. A documentary originally exhibited on the day of his death at the age of 83.

Cruzeiro Seixas lives in a maze where every path leads to Mário Cesariny. Subdued by that obsessive love and hate relationship, Cruzeiro Seixos did not fully live, but left proofs of that non-existence: 95 years of paintings and poetry that await full recognition alongside other surrealist masters.

A personal tribute to the poet Alexandre O'Neill by his dear friend Fernando Lopes.
