Search is found in pain, in wounds.

In the minuscule lies the truth, and she reveals itself.

Two art history students spend a long day with a stolen painting, filling the hours with idle, superfluous conversations. All the while, they avoid confronting the obvious question: did they actually do something wrong?

An assistant is trapped in a parking garage and finds himself going insane over time.

A filmmaker uncovers footage of a party where, buried in the background, two people appear to be falling in love, and wonders how many moments like this exist, unnoticed, in tapes nobody has a reason to revisit.

In the dimly lit confines of a small, bustling Italian-American restaurant, the complex drama of loyalty, morality, and power plays out in one fateful evening. Michael Corleone, a reserved and reluctant heir to his family's crime empire, steps into the world of violence and vengeance in a defining moment of transformation.

This documentary is a record of moments with family, friends, travels, outings, and a passion that Carla inherited from her father. The need to encapsulate time led her to film her daily life with Bahian friends in Barcelona, a city where she lived the best of her youth for eight years. When she decided to return to Brazil, everything took on new significance. It was then that she began the project of making a documentary to immortalize that period. The casual recordings turned into an obsession, and her friends were interviewed, totaling more than 50 hours of filmed memories and a year of editing in Brazil. This process was a painful stagnation in the past, an effort to make sense of material that fed a difficult feeling to overcome: longing. The result is a delicate film that reflects on exile, memory, time, family, change, and life.
