Elis Regina: Doce de Pimenta
Roberto de Oliveira
Elis Regina, Adoniran Barbosa
She mesmerised the crowd. The first sight would rapidly disappear and anyone who would get closer would also be surprised. It is not known if she did it for "beauty or precision", as Guimarães Rosa used to say. But the truth is that stereotypes would be destroyed as soon as she would fetch her followers. And revelations would unfold. Behind her suavely acute and toned voice, there was a deep tone that only few could reach. Behind her humble upbringing, there was an uncommon sensibility and intelligence. Her disguise was her irrepressible technique. Elis was pure emotion. And singing was not her final objective, she really wanted to make people happy. This film honours Elis and creates a singular portrait of Brazil's biggest star.

Elis Regina: Na Batucada da Vida
Roberto de Oliveira
Elis Regina, César Camargo Mariano
Her difficult career beginning in her hometown, Porto Alegre, was not different from her friends' stories. Elis belonged to a group of people born to win. She had the talent, she knew her potential and she just needed to face the world with courage and determination. That is exactly what she did. The result is known by everybody and it is in this film, a unique register of memorable interpretations by Elis, including the song which Elis learned with Tom Jobim and entitles the film.

Elis Regina: Falso Brilhante

Elis was complete, she had all the attributes which differentiated simple artists from stars. She could enchant crowds in her albums, concerts and in video. Her music was always associated to the stage, site she mastered with brilliance. Throughout her career, these stages would open to her, from the radio days to the Montreux Jazz Festival. This film shows her magic relationship with stage and audience. And also the Bandeirantes theatre, her last stronghold. There she shone in life with her greatest success in theater, the show 'Falso Brilhante', which is also presented and entitles this film. There her body was veiled and her audience went to meet her for the last time, now for a farewell.

Tom Jobim: Águas de Março
Roberto de Oliveira
Antônio Carlos Jobim
"Águas de Março" enfoca a relação de Tom Jobim com a ecologia, narrado por Chico Buarque. Os sentimentos que envolviam esta forte relação de Tom com a fauna e aflora brasileiras, especialmente a Mata Atlântica, estão neste DVD, ao som de números musicais históricos, gravados em diferentes fases da vida do Maestro Soberano. Mas é com Elis Regina que Tom Jobim divide a interpretação daquela que se tornaria uma de suas obras-primas, "Águas de Março". Registrado em 1974 em Los Angeles, durante as gravações do LP "Elis e Tom", apresenta os dois cantando de forma descontraída e animada. A música, definida por Chico, como "o samba mais bonito do mundo", levaria a paixão de tom pela natureza a uma popularidade nunca antes alcançada.
