Roberto Carlos, a 20 year old black man, runs fast down the street to not miss the bus. This is his version of the story. Isabella, a white woman, claims that he had stolen her purse. The main question is: who speaks the truth? This realistic short film reflects a little bit of the Brazilian racist scene.

Recent studies suggest that the average adult will spend at least half of their life in front of a screen. This documentary explores how Brazilian digital influencers are using that reality to fuel activism on social issues such as racial representation, LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, and politics. Stuck at home with social media as their only tool to make their voices heard, nine influencers create content across multiple platforms, raising awareness about taboo subjects in an accessible and deconstructed way while sharing their daily lives. Through the communities they build online, they question whether our screens have become true mirrors of the souls of today’s societies.
