Maria is a woman in her thirties who witnesses her ideals gradually crumble from the year 2016 to 2018. Between politics on both the macro and micro scale, everything seems to be unraveling in coups, splits, ruptures and violence. She is appalled by the ouster of former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, the execution of congresswoman Marielle Franco, and Jair Bolsonaro’s dizzying rise toward the presidency. At the NGO where she works, lies, betrayals and fractured relationships target her directly. Not understanding what is behind the personal attacks, Maria is shaken to the core, overtaken by fear and wants to fight back employing similar tactics. As crises seem to surround her on all sides, an encounter with Sofia, a woman a few years younger than herself, and an affirmation of fellowship with Regina and Dulce appear as opportunities to radically experience the vital power of friendship and love.
