This essay analyzes the scripts from A alma, segundo Salustre and Outono: o jardim petrificado, both written by Mário Peixoto, but never finished or filmed. The plot and cinematic language signaled in the scripts showed some hidden aspects of Peixoto’s aesthetics that could not be perceived only in his film Limite. A speculative archeology is proposed to understand the role of unfilmed scripts in the theory and history of cinema and, more specifically, serving as a possible revision of the historiography of Brazilian cinema.
