Disguised as dystopian science fiction, which crosses references of George Miller and JG Ballard, the film proposes a reflection on the current Brazilian political and social situation, concretely from the process of impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, rehearsing an alternative future for Brazil. As the political capital of the country, and especially as one of the most symbolic utopias of the Brazilian twentieth century, the city of Brasília shares the protagonism with a couple of renegades who survive by wandering marginally waiting for personal and collective redemption.
