Director's Note

I have dedicated my work to exploring masculinity, love and personal transformation in a conservative and patriarchal social context. Through the story of Daniel, a conservative police officer searching for his love in a divided Brazil, the film presents a contrast between the South and the Northeast, symbolizing the dichotomy between conservatism and progressivism.

Daniel’s journey is marked by a profound transformation, driven by his desire to find Sara and the need to overcome his own prejudices. As he ventures into the Northeast, a place completely different from his reality, Daniel encounters a more open and welcoming culture, which leads him to question his own beliefs and broaden his horizons.

The film uses cinematic language to explore themes such as identity, love, prejudice and the quest for self-discovery. Through landscapes, music and the relationships between characters, it creates an atmosphere rich in nuances and emotions, inviting the viewer to reflect on the brazilian society and the challenges of building a more authentic and compassionate masculine identity.
