Magnolia focuses on how one’s childhood and trauma relate to their confidence and self.

Jonas (25) is a young man who is in a toxic relationship with Ricardo (45) and is depressed because Renan, a friend from work, was brutally murdered by the serial killer known as “The Owl”, a psychopath from Curitiba, who has already killed four young men in the city. Things get even more tense in the young man's life when he realizes that, in fact, all of the victims have already passed through his life in some way.
