A voyeuristic journey through the homoerotic work of Alair Gomes.

The body of a trans woman lies lifeless in a soy plantation and three lives react to her missing and presumed death.

An homage to master Eduardo Coutinho, a Brazilian documentary filmmaker who recorded several interviews in the famous Master Building 20 years ago. Paz Encina searches for traces of Coutinho's still strong presence in the setting/object of his feature film, sewing an affectionate letter from the encounter with this space — and its current residents — and dialoguing with the voids, ghosts and memories of a film and a place.

So, here we are in time, here in the singularity, where two bodies inhabit an in-between space marked by the dilation of time. Inspired by radical Black thought, FUGA is an experiment on the erratic movement of escape and its impossibility.

The son of a filmmaker from the 1960s and 1970s searches for his father's latest unreleased work. In this search, he retells the history of pornochanchada and presents a look at cinema and Brazil.

Documentary and staged scenes mix in this very personal story of a family in the suburbs of Rio, through the memories of a backyard, a giant tree, and the woman who planted it.
