Abry
Synopsis
At 84 years of age, LĂșcia Rocha admitted herself to a hospital in SĂŁo Paulo to undergo heart tests. Upon receiving the news about the risk to her life, LĂșcia, laconic, tells the doctor: 'Then open it'. This is the second time she has undergone bypass surgery. From this gesture, the documentary Abry was born (with y, sign of the unconscious, according to the nomenclature invented by his son, Glauber Rocha). To relate her memories, she invites filmmaker Joel Pizzini, who offers his mini camera as an instrument to amplify LĂșcia's imagination. Abry is a poetic dive into LĂșcia Rocha's fabulous universe, reconstructing her trajectory in Brazilian cinema through sounds, images and characters with whom she lived closely.
