SHE, a trans woman of approximately 35 years old, prepares the house for a religious ceremony, Noite de lauaraete, an enchanted entity from the virgin forests, which ELA receives on the nights of the full moon.

An experimental work, mixing documentary and fiction that brings stories of trans people marked by the geographic territory of the North and Northeast region. The film is a cartography about transcetralities in the North and Northeast of Brazil, in which poetry, spirituality, politics, education, activism, and Afro-indigenous worldviews are foundations in the existential and identity processes of trans/transvestite people in these territories.
