At the Philharmonie de Paris, Brazilian music legend Gilberto Gil revisits half a century of his career in a gentle, committed, and eclectic concert.

After touring across Brazil — from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Belém — the Tempo Rei concert series brought to life a repertoire that spans decades of musical history, winning over new audiences with every stop. Now, this cinematic concert film invites viewers to experience from home the grand finale of an unforgettable musical journey — a celebration of legacy, rhythm, and time itself.

Composer Gilberto Gil accompanies filmmaker Andrucha Waddington to the Northeast of Brazil. Among the rural communities in the region, Gil and Waddignton participate in the Catholic celebration of Saint John's Day with music and dance. Waddington also analyzes the suffering of the population trying to survive through agriculture in difficult terrain.
