The City That Had a Cinema

During a walk in Xaxim (Santa Catarina), three children stumble upon the remains of the town’s old cinema. As they explore the abandoned space, memories resurface through exciting and vivid stories shared by locals who lived through Cine Guarany’s golden era. By weaving together these personal tales, the documentary traces the history of cinema in Brazil, especially in this small town, and reminds us of the power of community and art’s ability to inspire change.
