Hello everyone !
I wish you all in good health and the whole family.
I wish you a great year 2022 !
Can you tell me where the metadata of the movies is? Because there are movies that come without any information (name, director, genre, etc.)
Thank you for your help
Do you want to know where Plex is storing the metadata, once it has acquired them
or do you want to know from where Plex is fetching those metadata?
The key to a successful metadata acquisition is to make it easy for Plex to know which movie is in your file.

Looks like a case of bad embedded metadata.
Probably added by whoever encoded/uploaded your files.
If your library is using the Plex Movie agent you can disable this for the future by disabling Prefer local metadata when editing your library (⋮ > Manage Library > Edit... → Advanced; you might need to refresh the metadata of existing items for that change to apply).
With a legacy agent you might need to disable the Local Media Assets source in Settings > [Server Name] > Agents or lower its priority for the applicable agent.
Alternatively you can obviously also clean the embedded metadata of those files – though I guess this might be more cumbersome.
^^^ this.
I call that “meta tag spam”.
