The documentary is a dive into this universe that Ariano Suassuna built with his Art (work) and his Life. His novels and characters. Your utopias. Your Quaderna, as the driving force behind this mix. Theater performances. Poems. Show classes. Popular culture. The cordel. The rabeca. Brazil and its stones. The Armorial Movement. Their readings and representations. Based on unpublished interviews with artists and friends (family), as well as Ariano himself and a tour of his home, the documentary recreates his universe.

In the small town of Taperoá João Grilo and confusion Chicó live setting, addressing a sacristan and a humble baker. Everyone lives under the excesses of the bishop, the priest and the major. Until an attack on the city, all die at the hands of the bandit Severino and must stand trial in the sky, which puts everyone before God and the Virgin Mary.
