The Sixty-Year-Old Girl

Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, turns 60 years old trying to deal with a contradiction: how can a modern architectural project, made for 500 thousand people, survive in a city of almost 4 million inhabitants?
A journey back in time takes us back to the time of its construction, when the streets were as empty as in the early days of the 2020 pandemic. Stories of people who made and make Brasília are intertwined, and help us to understand what happened on this journey.
