« J’ai déjà vécu ma mort et il ne reste plus qu’à en faire un film. » C’est ce qu’a décrété le réalisateur, scénariste et producteur de cinéma brésilien d’origine argentine Hector Babenco (1946−2016) à l’actrice brésilienne Bárbara Paz lorsqu’il s’est rendu compte qu’il ne lui restait plus beaucoup de temps à vivre. Celle-ci a accepté le défi de réaliser le dernier souhait de son partenaire : devenir le protagoniste de sa propre mort. Dans cette tendre immersion dans la vie de l’un des plus grands cinéastes d’Amérique du Sud, Babenco nous livre son âme à travers des situations intimes et douloureuses. Il exprime ses peurs et ses angoisses, raconte ses souvenirs, les réflexions et les fantasmes qui ont marqué sa carrière. Un face-à-face ponctué par sa vigueur intellectuelle et sa fragilité physique. Babenco a fait du cinéma sa médecine et sa nourriture spirituelle qui ont alimenté sa passion toute sa vie.
