The musical documentary "Luiz Melodia - Within the Heart of Brazil", narrated entirely in the first person, seeks to give voice to the artist Luiz Melodia, who, by embracing his musical freedom and originality, challenged many norms in the Brazilian music and cultural market. Sculpted with rare and unpublished archive images, it reflects the cultural importance of his legacy and the music scene to which he actively contributed from the 1970s onwards.
