Bench Cinema tells the story of Nasi who spends months after release from prison, watching the films and memorizing all the lines. He then travels around to perform the films as a one-man show on a bench. Gradually he forms a theatre group called Cinema Bench.
In its recent international presence, Bench Cinema was nominated for the award of the 40th São Paulo International Film Festival.
