An ode to the life and work of Zé Celso, Máquina do Desejo is a film constructed from the precious audiovisual collection of the Oficina Theater. In its more than 66 years of work, it overflows the stage and penetrates the history of Brazil. A dive into the creative depths of the indomitable company and its headquarters, a focus of resistance and re-existence that makes creative freedom an irreversible achievement.
