In Hermeto Pascoal’s music, when we encounter the harmonic complexity and unravel its countless layers, what is revealed is a hauntingly simple sound, which refers to his childhood. The film is built on three pillars: a current recording of a Hermeto Pascoal concert, a dive into his childhood, and an interview with him, which produces what he does best: music.
Hermeto Pascoal sadly passed away on 13 September. This is a tribute screening honouring his life and work.
