Between Oswaldo Cruz and Marechal Hermes, Vera Caju and Julia Dutra journey through the beating heart of Rio’s suburbs.

November 2018. In a post-election climate, Kit Redstone lands in the devastated Olympic City, Rio de Janeiro. Writer, director and theater performer based in London, Kit is a transgender man and comes to Brazil with the aim of producing a play with transsexual actors in the country that kills the most transvestites in the world. During the process, we meet these artists and their perspectives on what it's like to be LGBTQI + and artist in an apocalyptic setting for social minorities and culture producers in the country.
