English title (or, anyway, the translation): The Master of Apipucos.
Documentary. Gilberto Freyre the sociologist at home. He walks in his garden, sits in his den (writes down: "someone must write a history of student life in Brasil"), has breakfast with his wife, served by a very dark-skinned servant, he has been with the family all his life -- does anyone see any relation to the subject matter of Freyre's magnum opus? In case one does, the English title -- if there is an English title, if there have been viewers of this film outside Brasil -- has troubling connotations (not in Portuguese: a "mestre" masters only knowledge, not men). He lies on the beach with a book, later he lies in the hammock with another (poetry, to ease the mind).
