Log Line

For a few days we follow the lives of three apparently common people, inhabiting the marginal side of the city. Their stories are at the same time fictional and real. The film is a gesture to show us that we are all humans, and how similar our fears and desires are.

Synopsis

Blurring borders between documentary and fiction, this film portrays a few moments from the lives of three men from Belo Horizonte: a transsexual prostitute and academic, a Hare Krishna soccer fan and a would-be writer.
Spanish:
Sigamos la vida aparentemente común de tres hombres cercanos a los 30 años: un escritor frustrado, un académico transexual y un hare-krishna aficionado al futbol. Recogemos pequeñas anécdotas en las que se narra poéticamente la lucha de cada uno por alcanzar la trascendencia, historias sobre el amor, la tolerancia, y la lucha contra los prejuicios.
