O Nylon da Minha Aldeia
1973. In an isolated southern village, two characters are trying to survive: Marcelona, prisoner of his difference and his love for Sergio, who fails to accept the possibility of his affection. At nightfall, when the river waters are released and both men meet by chance, it seems that everything could change.
