On a journey through his own history, the director Edson Ferreira revisits his father's legacy, a black man who made the looks of affection his school of life.

How to define a father's looks of affection? The director Edson Ferreira travels through his own life to revisit his father's legacy, a black man capable of profoundly impacting those who lived with him. With 73 minutes deeply rooted in an Afro proposal, the film tells the story of Edson Silva (1930-2018), father of the director, a man from the Northeast, poor and black who revealed himself as a Griô: wise, conciliatory and craftsman of words. A poet, an artificer of affection.—Filmes da Ilha
