Tight 70-minute runtime — shorter than most television pilots.

From Ceará to Bahia, passing through Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Pernambuco (and with the counterpoint of the Northeastern diaspora in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), the documentary seeks to survey the contemporary Northeastern imaginary: a mixture of the most rich or archaic regional traditions with influences from the more modern mass culture of the era of globalization.
