Small town, big questions — who gets to belong when home feels like a cage?
Set in Goianinha, a small town in the Brazilian countryside, the film follows the journey of young people who feel out of place in their own land. As they question their identity and sense of belonging, they face challenges in an environment where gender, racial, and sexual diversity still encounters resistance. While navigating both internal and external conflicts, they realize that, despite the town’s limitations, certain memories can redefine their connection to it.
