Rânia is a teenage girl who lives on Santa Teresinha hill in the city of Fortaleza. Her busy days are also occupied by the dream of being a dancer. Rânia's best friend, Zizi, introduces her to 'Sereia da Noite', a local joint where fun, dance, money and sex rock the night. When Rânia meets the choreographer Estela, she will be torn between the possibility to make money in the nightclub and the will to become a "real dancer".

Chapter 4 of Cosmopolitics of Animals.

Documentary about the work of Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão. With images collected over several years, scenes that pass through Inhotim —where there is her permanent gallery— Ouro Preto, Salvador, Bahia’s Recôncavo, Hong Kong, USA and Portugal; places chosen because they have a strong connection with the narrative of her work, the film reveals the creative process, the connections established and the many references present in the work of this unique artist.

A hybrid being arises in a forest exploited for its latex and, together with other imaginary and real entities, tries to survive amid the destruction of the world as we know it, clinging to what may exist after its end.

A maldição tropical is a short meditation on Portuguese-Brazilian icon Carmen Miranda, by way of the development of Rio de Janeiro.

A eukaryotic film immersed in multispecies relationships. Loosely adapted from "A Cosmopolítica dos Animais" [The Cosmopolitcs of Animals] (Juliana Fausto, n-1 edições, 2020).
