Mariana Starling

Vanessa is a single mother haunted by a trauma from her past. Her son, Caio, is a creative child who seems to be escaping from reality. One day, the boy meets the little captain of a boat in a bottle who needs to set sail again, but the journey from the heart of Minas Gerais to the sea can be dangerous.

The boy Lúcio is in the hospital with his mother (Alda) and sister (Zulma) when he receives an unusual visit from his grandmother Neusa, from the films “Dentro da Caixinha”, dressed as a clown. Doctor Parafina lends a mysterious little box that, when opened, transports Lúcio and his family to the Sertão da Memória, a fantastic place inhabited by characters from children’s songs, such as Mulher Rendeira, Mestre André and Marinheiro Só. However, the presence of the children in the forgotten world of old songs revives hope and awakens, in all the inhabitants, the desire for them to stay inside the box forever.
