The documentary narrates the trajectory of Jorge Mautner after his parents - a Catholic Austrian from Yugoslavian origin and an Austrian Jew - flee Nazism in Germany during World War II and arrive in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, in the early 1940s. His birth in the city, his contact with Brazilian culture through a young black woman who worked as a nanny for his family and sang for him sambas and chants of Candomblé, his trip to São Paulo, his stay in New York in the 1960s, his partnerships with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Nélson Jacobina, as well as his peak in the musical world are told by the film.
