A film about memory shot in Super 8 in single take. Shot in Super 8 with two cartridges filmed in single take, this film shows images of an African percussionist playing his drum, a djêmbe, with the sea in the background, reconnecting with Africa on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Shot in 2021 with film that expired almost 50 years before, in the 1970s, the film establishes a relationship between the deterioration of the emulsion and the precariousness of film preservation in Brazil.
