The city of São Paulo at the end of the 1920s. Urbanism, fashion, public monuments, industrialization, historical facts, coffee production expansion, education and the sound of daily life. Using the classic documentary Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (1927) as a model, Hungarian filmmakers Adalberto Kemeny and Rodolf Lustig, who owned one of the best film laboratories that Brazil relied on at the time, made this documentary.
