Arthur Leite

By starting a project of researching the life of a grandfather who he have never met, the filmmaker from Ceará, Arthur Leite, began to investigate the history of his own family. The deeper it gets, the more it departs from the original idea, and he realizes that the character is actually his grandmother Rosa – who, facing the camera, starts to make unexpected revelations about this unknown past.

The dream of the life of an erguided man, stone by stone, in the high sertan of Ceará.

In an ancient family mansion, mother Sydia and daughter Nina spend a tense night of isolation just as a solar storm threatens to collapse the Earth’s gravity. What begins as a fraught domestic moment quickly shifts when a mysterious visitor, Lara, arrives, and the house’s long‑missing employee, Joana, returns with disturbing news from the outside world. As the cosmic and terrestrial crises gather, the four women are forced to face buried secrets, generational trauma and shifting power dynamics. Their physical refuge becomes a battleground of psychological and symbolic upheaval, where the end of the world becomes mirror to the end of the old order — and perhaps the beginning of something new.
