Renata Carvalho

Follows the story of a biologist and his family at the start of the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s, as the first wave of the epidemic hits Brazil.

The area around Catalan in Brazil's state of Goiás is dry, very dry. Sandro's life here is somewhat monotonous. He works in a fertilizer factory. He has a purely sexual relationship with his colleague Ricardo. When Maicon shows up in their small town and flirts with Ricardo, his burgeoning feelings of jealousy set a change in motion.
