Yeda, the green-faced woman, sells homemade bread to support the house where she lives with her sick husband. Through the context of green-faced people, we know the reality of those who live on the fringes of a purple-faced society.

Cêcil and Cecília, neighbors in a suburb, suffer daily from the challenges imposed by the Brazilian suburban condition. An unexpected meeting leads the two, newly introduced, to nurture a friendship separated by a wall.

Mati meets up again with Julia, her girlfriend, who now lives in a distant and cold place. There, they are faced with the lack of identity and the impossibility of returning home.

After committing acts of vandalism, Bel and Juliano, teenagers from the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, are sentenced to do community service where they get to know each other, starting to share affection and uncertainty.

Passing through the mountains of Ouro Preto, through a peaceful rural area, through the heart of the metropolis Belo Horizonte and also through its periphery, each character in “Liberdade, though belated” lives a different reality. Elisa hides a great sin, João carries the pain of a loss, Felipe lives continuous nights of torment and Rosana, the anguish of protecting her best friend from an abusive relationship. Their conflicts are distinct, but the longing for freedom is what unites them.
