Laboratório Cisco

As Jack begins his gender transition process, Brazil is plunged into a wave of extreme conservatism. The film follows the transformations in his life and in the country, crossed by an extreme right-wing government and a devastating pandemic. Through an intimate account of the daily life of Jack and his friends, we see a network of affection and solidarity flourishing in the midst of an adverse context.

Homeless people from two major Brazilian cities talk about themselves, fabulous their lives and reinventing themselves before the camera. They recognize and reveal different dimensions to be considered when addressing the issue of street populations. They point out subjectivities and the place of harm reduction in society.
