This short documentary brings together heartfelt accounts from people who witnessed the golden age of lyrical production in Belo Horizonte during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. The testimonials reflect on how this period of artistic effervescence was instrumental in promoting the creation of essential cultural spaces, such as the Palácio das Artes and Teatro Francisco Nunes, in a time when the city lacked theaters.
