Babaçu Love

On an odyssey along the dusty roads of the Brazilian states of Piauí and Maranhão, the forró band Babaçu Love, managed by Tetéu (Lailtinho), faces the challenges of performing on makeshift stages in small towns across Northeastern Brazil. With the slogan, "The passion that burns in your heart," the story follows Diloura (Amanda Odillon), her mother Paraibana (Gisele Vasconcelos), and the kind-hearted Araújo (Alisson Emanoel). Diloura is seduced by the promises of her unscrupulous boyfriend, Ransquelson Ruschel (Whindersson Nunes), who convinces her to leave Babaçu Love and join the band Quiabo com Maxixe, managed by the swindler Capa Rato (Mano Silva). Meanwhile, Paraibana leads the struggle of the babaçu coconut breakers for fair labor rights, equality, and environmental preservation.

The Gypsy

A deeply personal documentary that follows Benício Bem, a queer artist from Piauí whose music and identity are shaped by the vibrant fusion of Romani heritage and Northeastern Brazilian popular culture. More than a portrait of a performer, the film is an intimate exploration of gender, self-expression, and resistance. In a society where queerness and regional culture are often marginalized, Benício embarks on a symbolic and cosmic journey of affirmation, challenging binary norms, confronting stigma, and reclaiming space as an LGBTQ+ artist in a conservative landscape. Through his voice, body, and artistry, he navigates questions of visibility, belonging, and the spiritual dimensions of identity.
