Diálogos com Ruth de Souza (Conversations with Ruth de Souza)

Ruth de Souza inaugurates the existence of black actresses on stage, television and cinema in Brazil. She carries within her the genesis of huge victories for black women over almost a century of her life. The film registers the encounter of the 98 years old actress with the young black woman and director Juliana Vicente. Juliana is also a pioneer in Brazilian film making even though it has been 6 decades separating their professional careers. Alongside rough conversations and archive footage of Ruth’s life we crossed a mythological universe, a fictionalized and transcendental interpretation of her life, and sometimes the only way to comprehend and to feel the deepness and multiplicity of these encounters.
