As Ariel arrives at school, he notices that his friend Dudu is absent. The reason? He’s come down with a cold. In the mind of a child whose main task is going to school, being absent can signal full permission for playtime. And who doesn’t want to play all day? Getting a cold may be commonplace for some children, but not for Ariel.

In a world where everyday life quietly reveals the signs of environmental collapse, a small bee travels through three interconnected stories that expose the dilemmas of our time: urban alienation, unchecked consumerism, and the scarcity of natural resources. Without dialogue, the short film "Ecos do amanhã" invites us to reflect on our habits and choices in the face of the climate crisis. Beyond a warning, it is an invitation to reflect on the present and an uncertain future.
