In the wake of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Companhia Olga Roriz, which since 1995 has been a reference in the panorama of contemporary dance, this documentary film portrays the four months of rehearsals leading up to their most recent creation: Autopsy. It is an attentive and intimate look at Olga Roriz's creative process and the construction of her choreographic language, from the genesis of the idea to its realization, exploring the close relationship between the choreographer and her performers.
