The ghosts of Boca do Lixo. Ido Oliveira still walks through Triumpho St.

Pedro earns a living in chat rooms. He transforms himself into NeonBoy in front of the webcam. Slowly, this young man dips his fingers into pots of coloured paint and glides them across his naked body. But things change when Pedro notices that somebody is imitating his performances. He agrees to go on a date with his mysterious rival. This rendezvous will have far-reaching consequences.

Set to classical Québecois music and filmed in a colourful, cinematic style, Doux temps explores the sharp contrast between, on one hand, the somewhat routine daily lives of four characters and, on the other, the lyrical sweep of words and music that evoke the amorous passions of the ‘sweet days’ of youth.

A poetic and oneiric film that unites fantasy to approach the trajectory of Antonio, a young man in a continuous process of transformation and inner re-elaboration. Inspired by the life story of Buddha.
