The film narrates the story of Santinho, a young man who has been exalted to the position of a saint in a remote riverine community of the upper Amazonas state, after performing a "miracle" upon the suicide of his own mother. The film seeks to be an intimate picture of the ones who are involved in this sect and of the infinite human capacity of "fabricating" faith and seeking for some sense in the horrifying experience of death.

Three adolescents travel in a car without course; they are low on fuel. During their ride they find that friendship is the border line between treason, deceit and the ambivalent solidarity of youth. It is also an intimate story that puts forward news of an unplanned pregnancy and shows how momentary lapses of sincerity and burden can define a young generation and portray a country.

A group of children (siblings and cousins of between 7 and 14 years of age) are left alone for several days in a house in a country (an enclosed estate with private security surrounded by barbed wire, with sports installations and other services, plus its own rules of security and coexistence), without their parents to look after them. This is the chronicle of these days, ranging from the everyday innocence of childhood and the ferocity of their enclosure.
