Movie description
The documentary explores the life and career of one of the greatest Brazilian actresses of all time, Marília Pêra, who passed away in 2015. Written by Nelson Motta and directed by Zelito Viana, the work is a 'docutainment,' much of it narrated in the first person, thanks to the numerous interviews she gave throughout her life, especially to TV Globo. It also features interviews, testimonials from colleagues, archival footage, and impressive musical numbers, as well as dramatic and comedic scenes from her iconic performances in theater, television, and cinema. The documentary is a profound tribute to a complete artist, who, by acting, dancing, singing, and directing, participated in 49 plays, 29 soap operas, 12 series, and 24 films, winning over 80 national and international awards.
