Summary: The aging Villa-Lobos attends a gala concert in the Theatre of Rio de Janeiro for a tribute in his honor. The concert brings back memories of his life, including the violence of his father, his mother’s sadness, the disaffection of Lucilia, his first wife, the inability to have children, the lack of acceptance of his art, the possible loss of Mindinha, his great love, and the abyss between genius and madness.
