As rain falls in São Paulo, in an unassuming apartment building a random Grindr hookup is multiplying into a frenzied orgy. Over the course of a day and into the night, Matias and his new lovers connect over fucking, a cornucopia of drugs, and classic literature. Matias confides in his companions about his life — his HIV status, his old lovers, his relationship with drugs — while he ponders what the future holds in a fast-changing, post-pandemic world. In his heightened state, Matias is visited by the apparition of G.H., the titular figure from Clarice Lispector‘s landmark novel The Passion According to G.H.

A man is obliged to celebrate his birthday alone. Through the emptiness of routine, he tries to look for small moments of joy.

The image of a body that is not in front of the camera. The absence of an image. The presence of a body. The materiality of a dream that is impossible to remember when one wakes up. Someone falls in love. Someone searches for words. Someone moves. Someone falls, or flies. Everyone dances.

Three people with different trajectories and lives but united by the same objective: to find a cure for close people who fell ill. Time is short, 14 days. Three axes of search, music, chemical alchemy and witchcraft. Does somehow end the search for the cure that will arrive? Society is sick, consequently you are too.
