A film dedicated to the career of violinist, improviser, instrumentalist and composer Carlos “Zingaro”, who is one of the most important names in Portuguese experimental music, as well as one of the great figures of European improvised music.
A deep dive into a multidisciplinary artist, perseverant, iconoclast, without a master. A pioneer in Portuguese improvisational music. Passionate about "fallible aesthetics". We meet him at 73 years old, "performing" in a fictional, abstract, cerebral, thoughtful, creative, pulsing space. His voice carries us, takes us to revisit pieces of his adventurous life, whose choices, consequences and circumstances, are analyzed today, without filters and detours.
