About the film
Set in a small village in the Santa Cecília district of São Paulo, this Brazilian drama-comedy explores the clash between community life and the pressures of urban redevelopment. As real estate interests move in, local activists struggle to protect the neighborhood from speculation and displacement, turning the village into the center of an increasingly tense social conflict.
At the same time, a series of mysterious disappearances of women begins to unsettle the community. As rumors spread and suspicions grow, the investigation reveals unexpected links between the missing women, the village itself, and a man whose presence seems connected to both. The mystery deepens with every new discovery, blurring the line between coincidence and conspiracy.
The situation becomes even more complex when a lost statue by a renowned Italo-Brazilian sculptor is discovered in the area. Blending humor, suspense, and social commentary, the film offers a compelling portrait of a community fighting to preserve its identity while confronting hidden secrets buried beneath the surface. Through its mix of drama and comedy, the story reflects on memory, belonging, and the human cost of progress.
