Screening as part of the Beco das Garrafas Cycle, programmed by student Manuel Barbosa.

Beco das Garrafas centers on music as a form of gathering, language, unity, and ritual; all the films share this common element. In this case, I chose to approach this theme as a tribute both to my Brazilian heritage and to my paternal family, since at every family dinner we share musical moments — something that brings us together. Through this cycle, I also aim to convey that same feeling.

Synopsis:
In February 1974, Elis Regina and Tom Jobim meet in Los Angeles to record the album Elis & Tom. The film follows the behind-the-scenes process of recording the album, which would become an emblematic masterpiece of Brazilian music.
