O filme aborda a vida e a obra do poeta Patativa do Assaré, destacando a relevância dos seus poemas, o significado político dos seus atos e a sua imensa contribuição à cultura brasileira. Dono de um ritmo poético de musicalidade única, mestre maior da arte da versificação e com um vocabulário que vai do dialeto da língua nordestina aos clássicos da língua portuguesa, Patativa do Assaré é a síntese do saber popular versus saber erudito. Mesmo quando ainda era violeiro e encantava os sertões com o som da sua viola e a beleza de seus versos improvisados, a sua fama já chegava aos salões literários das grandes cidades, e a sua obra despertava o interesse de renomados escritores e intelectuais brasileiros.--Container.
