Thiago Furtado

A deeply personal documentary that follows Benício Bem, a queer artist from Piauí whose music and identity are shaped by the vibrant fusion of Romani heritage and Northeastern Brazilian popular culture. More than a portrait of a performer, the film is an intimate exploration of gender, self-expression, and resistance. In a society where queerness and regional culture are often marginalized, Benício embarks on a symbolic and cosmic journey of affirmation, challenging binary norms, confronting stigma, and reclaiming space as an LGBTQ+ artist in a conservative landscape. Through his voice, body, and artistry, he navigates questions of visibility, belonging, and the spiritual dimensions of identity.

When Luís and Alexandre's relationship comes to an end, it is revealed that Dinha, a housemaid who has taken care of Luís since he was a child, is Alexandre's grandmother. Facing prejudice, family and labor relations, the film brings a universal debate centered on the city of Teresina.
