Sol, a reserved young woman, sees her world shift after meeting the charismatic Tainá and being introduced to the mysterious “Clube dos 27,” a social circle that challenges her sense of identity. As Sol is drawn deeper into the group’s intense dynamics, her personality begins to transform, creating tension between her emerging self-image and her deepening relationship with Tainá. Navigating desire, belonging, and self-reinvention, Sol is forced to confront what she wants—and who she is becoming—in this first chapter of a coming-of-age queer drama.

“Trust your gut" is one of the most common pieces of advice you’ll receive during your lifetime. And as a person inclined to trust my intuition above all else, it’s the most common advice I find myself giving in real life and in my online socialising. But what happens when your gut is trying to warn you that something is seriously wrong without you being able to identify what triggered it in the first place? How can you act on a feeling or make it go away when you don’t have a clue about what could be wrong? How can you trust your intuition when you don’t know what makes it act out in the first place?
The second film takes us on Peter's journey to be understood.
