An epidemic has broken out and genetically modified mosquitoes, fruit of a research factory near São Paulo, are rallied against the deadly virus: an analogy to the recrudescent rise of conservatism in Brazil over the recent years. In the meantime, a three-way erotic relationship between a man, a woman and a transgender woman is faced with rising tensions and constant shifts on power dynamics. A dystopian fable, veering between present-day and an undefined future, that merges lo-fi horror, science fiction and queer drama, pointing to intimacy as the last shield of defense against moral, sentimental and political annihilation.
