Drylands could be anywhere, just as Marcélia Cartaxo could be many women (including herself). The actress is placed in a situation in which she encounters nature and other female figures, in some instances, her doubles.

Intervalo Clandestino is a documentary that seeks to translate the state of mind of the Brazilian people in the face of the country's social and political reality. The film seeks to show the role of politics and its practical effects on citizens' lives. A broad reflection emerges in the anonymous voices surprised at random in the crowd. They are ordinary people, from different professions, with different visions, who speak to the camera about their impressions, desires and frustrations, discussing politicians, voting, corruption, distrust and the future of Brazil.
