Forty-seven years inside Brazilian television, told from the inside. Edilásio Barra Junior began at Rede Globo in 1979, as an actor, and never left. He created and presented Programa VIP, interviewed more than five thousand people, bought his own airtime, sold his own sponsorship and learned the business of television from the only place where it can be learned: the set. This is what stayed. The rule the audience will never know exists - that once you choose the side you shoot from, you do not cross to the other one. The thirty seconds of nothing that sound records before packing up, and why an edit gets a hiccup without them. The night a tape with five years of work on it was recorded over in a corridor. And the arithmetic nobody does out loud: where the advertising money actually went, what television stopped selling because it never learned to name it, and why the rarest product in the market is sold like washing powder. Part memoir, part field manual, part press archive. Written for anyone who works with a microphone in their hand - and for anyone who wants to understand the machine behind the screen.
