Synopsis

In 1965, a VW Beetle rolls off the production line in São Paulo. 40 years later, the same car with the license plate KFZ-1348 ends up in a scrapyard. The car’s story through its eight owners paints a portrait of modern Brazil. The first owner is a prosperous young civil engineer from São Paulo. Over four decades, the car has had seven more owners from different social classes at different points in the history of Brazil. The film goes in search of their stories, with the car as the link between the various owners and their lives as unique windows on Brazilian society.
