This documentary investigates the aesthetic, political and existential trajectory of emblematic Black Brazilian actor Antônio Pitanga. His career spans over five decades, and he has worked with iconic Brazilian filmmakers Glauber Rocha, Cacá Diegues and Walter Lima Jr. He was a prominent figurehead and outspoken activist during the Brazilian dictatorship, a period of unrest in Brazilian cinema. "Pitanga" deep dives into the world of Antônio and the history of Brazil. The documentary was directed by his daughter Camila Pitanga, one of widely recognised faces in Brazilian television and cinema right now. The film is also a poem, and a tender ode to fatherhood.

位于南里奥格兰德州内陆的一个小村庄，居民们已无法忍受下水道污水的恶臭。村民玛丽娜（费尔南达·托雷斯饰）带领村委会，向市政府申请8000雷亚尔用于改造污水池，但政府表示没有此类卫生项目的预算，却有10000雷亚尔可用于一部电影的制作。
玛丽娜和她的丈夫华金（瓦格纳·莫拉饰）决定以拍摄电影为原由申请预算，再将预算的一部分用于污水池的改造，剩余的部分则用于拍摄一部讲述怪物在污水处理厂制造恐怖事件的低成本电影。
