Like the perfect ending of a great film - that is the way filmmaker João describes the end of his 10-year relationship with Hugo. Despite breaking up, they remained best friends. However, reentering the dating scene brought a whirlwind of emotions, revealing that reality can’t be controlled like a movie script.
In this coming- of-age series, five friends are reunited after six years without seeing each other. They are entering adulthood and dealing with conflicts of different natures, but common to a generation that is skeptical about the future, relationships and people. Amid reflection on the choices and the destiny they have decided upon for their lives, together they feel stronger to face what is to come.
Somewhere in the Brazilian seaside, teenagers Lucas and Martin fall in love while investigating the disappearance of a local kid. But their blossoming romance is threatened by sinister forces lurking beneath that idyllic summery landscape.
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.
