The film tells two stories apparently very distant are slowly approaching each other. On the one hand is Babarimisa, a young man from Benin who suffers from a relentless disease for which seems to have no remedy. Desperate to save his mother, Morenike, a Yoruba priestess goes to invoke the power of the Orishas gods. Meanwhile in Argentina, Shantas is a young offender living in a marginal area tainted by the practices of Umbanda, a cult derived from African religions. None of us can even imagine the surprises that come in the destination.

The Favor poster
3.8

Mora and Roberta, a lesbian couple, want a child. But who will be the donor? The two decide that Mora's brother Felipe, Argentina's top turkey-inseminator, should be the lucky provider. Poor Felipe gets more than he bargained for when he flies in from the country. He wants to visit his girlfriend, to visit his sister, and to meet with a business partner. The ladies have another plan, a plan to extract their desire. Their hope is that Roberta will easily seduce Felipe after he consumes the buffet of oysters, Viagra, and other assorted snake-oil aphrodisiacs. Poor Felipe has a lot to digest in his one night in the city. He finds out that Faustina, his devoutly Catholic fiance, is pregnant. He learns that his sister is gay (and that she wants more from him than a visit). On top of all of this, his (hopeful) future business partner is poisoned. Nothing goes as planned during Felipe's hilarious night in town.

Javier Lombardo lived a “normal” life. Children, a wife, success as an actor and writer, recognition, public affection. Pure happiness. Until he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. And his life changed forever. What is the meaning of life when illness strikes? How do we redefine who we are, what we dream of, what we desire? Why do we get sick? What is the purpose? These and many other questions unfold throughout the film, which attempts to illuminate all the possibilities we have for living a full life despite Parkinson's disease. Understanding the disease is the first step to feeling alive again. Even if only for short periods.
