Through interdisciplinary research involving education and cinema, the article aims to analyze the narrative of the film Central Station (1998), directed by Walter Salles, and identify elements for teaching three-act narratives in a script. The research is classified as descriptive and documentary, with a qualitative approach, and uses the film analysis technique. The main result was the realization that the practice of teaching scripts, from the cinema itself, is an essential issue to encourage discussions, deepen studies and instigate creative ideas. It is also found that Central Station is not a film that only allows the teaching of three-act narrative, but also promotes discussions in the most different spheres, whether to issues related to the Brazilian social scene, senior people, and their relationship with work, culture, and national folklore.
