Mila is 19, teaches theatre and is pregnant. Gilmar, 27, is a history teacher in a relationship with Igor, a 19 year old cowboy. The three will form a rather unconventional family. The film follows the path of these young people in the small city of Serra do Ramalho, in the dry lands of Bahía, and society’s reaction to this peculiar tale.
Michael (30) is a mechanic who claims to have experienced a divine revelation in the desert. But far from believing him, the locals treat him like the village madman. One afternoon he learns that a childhood friend has had an accident in a distant town. Michael decides to leave everything he has to set out on a barefoot pilgrimage and cure him with a miracle. His walk begins to attract the attention of people exploited by the mining companies and drug addicts, who see him as a Christ capable of alleviating the harsh reality of the Chilean desert.

A group of friends with Down’s Syndrome have been going to the same school for 40 years and no longer want to be students. Most of them have lost their parents by now, none of whom had ever imagined that their children would outlive them. The children always thought that when their parents died, they would be able to do everything they had always been forbidden to do, like living alone, having sex, becoming parents, getting married and having real jobs. But nothing has changed for them, and they have to wrestle with the frustration of living as if they were only 10, even if they are almost 50.
In 1860, a French lawyer dreamt of becoming the King of Patagonia. And that’s exactly what happened. Or that’s what it seems like. Participated in New Directors with Lucía, his previous film.
