Raul – The Beginning, End and Means

Synopsis

• As the world swarmed the trepidations of Easy Rider bikes, on the frenetic pace of Elvis Presley, on the Beatnik poets, in the explosion of the counterculture, a boy in Bahia gave birth to Brazil’s rock. A flying saucer runaway who abducted the hearts and minds of thousands of fans. Raul, a man who has become a myth. The film reveals through rare archive images, family gatherings, conversations with artists, producers and friends, the trajectory of the rock legend. Raul Seixas died young because he lived intensely. Rock’n roll, free love, Alternative Society, drugs, black magic, military dictatorship, women and children. A man who wanted to live in his work and died for it. The beginning, end and means are confused, because the story is not over yet.
