The documentary ‘Nem tudo é paz e amor’, directed by Betão Aguiarque, is holding a preview screening in Salvador, Brazil. The film explores Brazilian counterculture during the 1970s through the personal memories of the children and relatives of artists who lived through that era.

Rather than focusing solely on major musical figures, the 86-minute film examines the domestic lives and behavioral transformations associated with movements such as Tropicália and the Novos Baianos. The documentary features interviews with various individuals and addresses themes of artistic freedom, exile, family conflicts, and the complexities of growing up amidst a generation seeking to break social patterns.
