Menstruation

After a severe nervous crisis, a young poet from the outskirts of São Paulo decides to raise his own voice.

On an ordinary day, Alana is the last girl chosen in her PE class. In the afternoon, she goes to the house of a distant classmate, with no intention of making friends. While they build a model, smoke and even kiss, Alana observes the family up close and finally comes face to face with Clarissa.

Haunted by old memories, Mia struggles with fitting in and her passage into womanhood. Through a new friendship, she finds the possibility of a new reconnection with time.

Living in a feminine body is an experimentation, the refusal of a linearity not identified with the progress that alienates the woman from nature. Cycle is an ode to the movement, to the colors and textures of the vital fluid, an experiment to recognize that maybe the life isn't only accumulayion, but overflow and restart.

Louise Bourgeois: “My initial work was the fear of falling. Then it became the art of falling. How to fall without getting hurt. Later on it is the art of staying aloft.”
