"Madrigal for a Living Poet" is a feature documentary about the marginal writer Tico. Is a song to life, an aesthetic homage to the writer. A Filmic reverie about the work and life of the character, is also a film about memory, which brings to the fore not only the agonizing trajectories of remembering, but also its political force, of resistance, that insists on reinventing everyday life and seeking lost senses.

A feature Documentary directed by Chica Barbosa & Bruno Mello Castanho
