How many secrets can a heart hold? How far can a body be valued and respected? Relicário tells the story of Lin, the owner of a bar who lives a life defined by routine—until the arrival of Rafael, a married man who awakens in her a powerful passion. What begins as an intense romance quickly turns into a labyrinth of deep emotions and irreversible consequences. As their affair deepens, Rafael’s love ceases to be a refuge and begins to threaten Lin’s fragile sense of balance. Amid the chaos of this forbidden relationship, she finds herself facing a dilemma that forces her to confront her own limits and desires.

What would you do if only after the death of your husband, or your father, or your best friend, you found out that he had loved another man? “Tempo Rubato” is a story about two grieving processes—Ravi’s, who lost his first love to police violence, and Dora and Edu’s, who lost their husband and father, respectively. Tiago, Ravi’s childhood friend, visits his family after the funeral and brings with him two boxes full of videos that Ravi recorded throughout his youth, including a farewell video-letter to his family, in which he confesses the secret he kept his entire life.
