Davi Gautto reads the original script for 'Memoirs of a Getaway Driver' and sets out to recreate the film as it was originally intended—before it was altered by production issues. These included scenes cut due to a rushed deadline, collaborators quitting at the last minute, and major edits made to reduce the film’s runtime to under four minutes.

Born a fully grown black man in a village in the Brazilian jungle, Macunaíma later magically transforms into a white man before making an adventure-filled trip to the city of São Paulo. Once there, he becomes something of a dandy, falling in love with Ci, a revolutionary who dies in an accidental bombing. After robbing a ruthless industrialist, Macunaima returns to his village where he finds his newly acquired knowledge and possessions of little use.
