Paula Sangria, a woman on the run after murdering her husband meets Agnes, a foreigner seeking disappearance and erotic annihilation, as they wander through a fictional winter city inhabited by grotesque figures, sexual repression and moral decay. While their relationship oscillates between desire, exploitation and violence, a disturbed sensationalist journalist obsessively stalks them, projecting his fetishes onto their bodies and crimes. What unfolds is a fragmented odyssey through a corrupt territory where intimacy becomes spectacle and survival itself turns obscene.
Judas Silva, an unorthodox private detective specialized in "surrealist cases", finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy involving a promising bossanova artist, her missing music producer, a sadistic enemy and his masochistic followers. Cainã de Paulo's second feature film, co-written with Pedro Valle. Now in pre-production.
Judas Silva welcomes a guest into his apartment and together they must find “The Idea” hidden in the heart of Copacabana.
