Santos Dumont is a Brazilian mini-series produced by HBO Brazil that dramatizes the life of inventor Alberto Santos Dumont.

Synopsis

[edit]

The miniseries deals with the inventor's childhood in Brazil, parallel to his mature period in France, where he was involved in the evolution of lighter- and heavier-than-air aircraft.[2]

Production

[edit]

The pre-production took four years, where scriptwriters Pedro Mota Gueiros and Gabriel Mariani Flaksman did extensive research among the various biographies and texts written by or about the aviator.[3][4]

Actor João Pedro Zappa did five months of intensive French lessons to participate in the production,[5] even stayed two weeks in Cannes to train the language, Belgian actor Thierry Tremouroux helped him in the language and considered him to be the most complex character he has ever faced.[2]

Entrepreneur Alan Calassa lent his replicas of 14-bis and Demoiselle for production.[4] The technical drawings were recreated by the team that opted for the most practical effects.[4] The production filmed scenes outside the National Museum before the fire.[6]

Back in Brazil, with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, he does not accept retirement, he builds The Enchanted, where he invents the Martian converter that is tested by Yolanda Penteado.

The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 began to take its toll, where Dumont believes he is responsible for preventing conflict between brothers. This continued until his final act.[12]
