Zé Pedro, the legendary guitarist of Xutos e Pontapés, is for many the greatest figure of Portuguese rock 'n' roll. He was one of the main boosters of this music genre in Portugal, not only as the founding guitarist of one of the most acclaimed national bands ever, but also by spreading rock in the roles of music critic, broadcaster and owner of the mythical club and concert hall, Johnny Guitar, where so many groups took their first steps. Combining personal and band archival footage with interviews with family and close friends, Zé Pedro Rock 'n' Roll documentary is both an honest tribute and an intimate journey into the life and world of the Portuguese musician who passed away in 2017.
