This is a biographical, emotional, and musical documentary, approximately 75 minutes in length, that delves into the creative process behind Serena Assumpção’s album, "Ascensão" (Rise). Filmed with an intimate lens, the feature documents the studio environment where the artist collectively constructs each track. The film captures the conversations, artistic directions, and rich exchanges of knowledge about the Afro-Brazilian cultural matrices that shaped the work—a true Dialogue with Tradition.
