Synopsis

In São Roque, in the interior of São Paulo, residents and tourists gather monthly in a centenary house to follow the performances of the Grupo de Choro, Seresta e Serenata, which for ten years has been rescuing musical practices from the local past. Following the path of these sounds that connect houses, streets, people and temporalities, the film presents the memories that cross the engagement with music in this context, where remembering the past is also a way of building a space of sociability in the present. Three characters linked to the Group guide the development of the film: Mari (coordinator), Bela (godmother) and Zé do Nino (host).
