Documentary about the film producer Luiz Carlos Barreto, better known as Barretão. A character whose biography is mixed with the history of Brazilian cinema.
"Luiz Carlos Barreto is one of the greatest names in Brazilian cinema, producing films such as 'Vidas Secas' and 'Terra em Transe'. However, 'Barretão' goes far beyond this cinematic facet of Luiz Carlos Barreto. Here, director Marcelo Santiago talks about the man Barretão, showing how he, born in the city of Sobral, in Ceará, became a great icon of Brazilian culture and transcends in his performance in culture in general -- having football and photojournalism also as some of the facets of this man full of skills. A film for Barretão fans, but also for those who like Brazilian culture and want to discover more about these so remarkable personalities."
