The sound of popcorn popping stirs memories of Fernando, evoking his love for cinema. In Alagoas, he experiences fantastic adventures with his mother, as they watch TV together. Gradually, the gears of his dream machine disassemble, leading him to pursue a degree in cinema at a public university in Bahia. Harsh reality confronts him, yet resilience weaves through his life plans, allowing him to immortalize, like a film heroine, the one who taught him to dream and to move forward. (Bruno Hilário)
