A teenager that lives in a village in the large industrial zone in the Brazilian hinterland discovers the secret diary of a man who just died in a work accident in the local aluminum factory. Each of its pages brings to life a magic world of the longstanding wandering of the deceased in different landscapes and his interaction with people of all sorts; at the same time, the mythology of a unique personality who insisted on living his life with excitement and poetic impulse, no matter the hardship of the times, unravels.
