A journey of friendship, in which an Argentine returns to South America to find his lady friend of Bahia. The work, recordings and career of Maria Bethania are well known, but her debut and her early years are still vague, having given rise to various legends. The film traces her style and voice by comparing her memories with the cities and regions she crossed. Surrounded by the princes of Brazilian music, Caetano Veloso, her brother, Chico Buarque and the great Gilberto Gil, she serves as our guide in a journey whose destination is the Nordeste, the cradle of the origins of this great lady of Brazilian music.
