Takumã Kuikuro leaves his village located in Alto-Xingu, Mato Grosso, with his wife, Kisuagu Regina Kuikuro, and sons Kelly Kaitsu, Ahuseti Larissa and Mayupi Bernardo Kuikuro to live in Rio de Janeiro. The film shows 2-year-old Bernardo Mayupi Kuikuro discovering the beach and other places in the big city. They do many things, everything is new and, while they live this experience, the part of the family that stays in the village is afraid because the news from Rio de Janeiro are not always good, which causes concern and restlessness. A portrait of the Brazilian contrasts between the imaginary of the tribe and the reality of a metropolis.

Two Distant Strangers (2020) centers around Carter James (Joey Bada$$) as he tries to get back home to his pitbull, Jeter, after spending a night at the apartment of his date Perri (Zaria Simone). What gets in the way of Carter reuniting with his dog is that every time he tries to leave Perri’s apartment, he is killed by police and wakes up back in her bed in a never-ending cycle.
