Synopsis

What starts as a true-crime tale about three women —one jailed under dictatorship, one who fled Brazil, and one who took her life— shifts when their nephew, now a father and the film’s director, steps in and questions his own story. Through archives and travel, he attempts to reunite his family as his children point toward another future.
