In this text, we will be studying how affection and memory permeate the narratives represented in Eduardo Coutinho's documentary Game of Scene (2006). Recognized as the greatest Brazilian documentarist and filmmaker of his generation, he dedicated himself to the field of documentary, making films based on the talk of ordinary people and what they have to tell about their experiences and being in the world. He had the intention of delimiting what elements are used for the creation of the documentary of our interest in this study, we will follow some ways of creating the coutiana work to establish the processes of creation in Scene Game. This documentary correlates, through Coutinho's technique use, the story of the characters through affection and memory, thus composing a fiction of reality. There is also a game of interpretation between the participation of ordinary women who propose to tell their stories with the interpretation of professional actresses - who also seem to tell stories of themselves, as well as dialogue with the director about the strategies of interpretation, or for the better or the difficulty of interpreting real women. We will also go through some of these games to try to establish a dialogue with reflections on the creative processes of Eduardo Coutinho, in order to address both the contributions of the coutiana, including the debates about memory in the elaboration of the stories in the cinema, as well as the individual power in the relations of affection.
