The movie begins by tracing Olinda's history back to its founding by the Portuguese in the 16th century. It walks the viewers through the city’s historical roots, marked by its UNESCO World Heritage status.

Unlike many documentaries, Global Treasures OLINDA successfully manages to portray Olinda not just as a piece of history but as a lived reality. The film dives deep into the city's intricate network of 20 historical churches and numerous buildings dating back to the 16th to the 18th century, the baroque architecture, and the intricate details of the antiquated buildings help to relay a tangible sense of the city's storied past.

Olinda’s world-famous Carnival also clinches the viewer's attention. The film beautifully captures the city's carnival, renowned for its vibrant street parties, colorful parades, ebullient music, and traditional giant doll effigies, all encapsulating the local culture in its most exuberant form. This festival showcases the blend of African, European, and native American influences in Olinda's culture, reflecting the city's multi-ethnic background.

The film also makes a stark and meaningful contrast by showcasing the city's serene coastline offering an oasis of calm attached to the energetic and colorful city life. The aerial cinematography capturing the breath-taking panoramas of Olinda with the azure of the ocean offers a visually stunning experience to the audience.

One of the key highlights is the film’s focus on the lives of the local inhabitants, or 'Olindenses.' This gives the audience an insightful glimpse into their daily ritualistic life, their crafts, meals, dance and music. The camera captures the life of local artisans making the vibrant Carnival costumes and crafts, local markets, and bustling streets, all narrated wonderfully, giving the audience an immersive feel of being part of Olinda's daily life.

However, this film does not shy away from the challenges faced by this historic city. It also reveals how Olinda is facing the tremendous task of preserving its historic assets in the era of modernization, providing a thought-provoking insight into heritage conservation.
