At Madame's 46th birthday party, one of the artists of the Noite das Estrelas, veterans and newcomers meet on a slab in the Maré favela. Between glamour, close-ups, performances and memories, they sew time and celebrate their bodies, which collectively live and resist through the arts. The short film is produced by Entidade Maré, a research project aimed at rescuing the narratives of LGBTI+ people from the favelas of Maré, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths. Rocket is a budding photographer who documents the increasing drug-related violence of his neighborhood, while José “Zé” Pequeno is an ambitious drug dealer diving into a dangerous life of crime.

Nina is an elderly woman who lives alone and feels distressed by the increasing violence in her neighborhood. Amidst conflicts with her neighbors, she decides to film the movement of drug traffickers from her window, hoping to assist the police. After months of recording suspicious activities, her initiative attracts the attention of a journalist, who approaches Nina and offers to support her in her mission.
