Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Os Paralamas emerged from Brasília's unique bubble, a planned city that bred rebellious art. They're arguably the only rock band to become genuinely pan-Brazilian — loved in Recife, Rio, and everywhere between.
Herbert Vianna's 2001 plane crash and rehabilitation fundamentally rewrote the band's dynamic. The documentary's access to his present-day creative process reveals an artist rebuilt rather than diminished.
