Capitão Tocha
Synopsis
Inspired by comic books and childhood memories, Capitão Tocha tells the story of Pedro, a happy black boy whose main hobby is to create stories from playing with his dolls and other objects re-signified by him. But his play becomes special when he finds an action figure with similar characteristics to his at a friend's house. Capitão Torcha is a story about representation, learning and self-confidence guided by the imagination of a child who sees in his idols the projection of a true hero.
