The documentary follows Fernanda Montenegro through her most recent work while looking back at the past to trace the making of a great actress over the course of her career. Directed by Pedro Waddington, son of filmmaker Andrucha Waddington—Fernanda’s son-in-law—the film embraces their family relationship as part of its narrative, capturing intimate moments with the actress backstage and unveiling previously unseen footage of projects made together as a family.
