Marcelo, a hyperactive 12-year-old living in a future Brasília, is hooked on his Delfos 7G virtual reality headset. Suspended from school for cyberbullying, he is sent to spend the holidays with his grandmother Idalina in Poconé, in the Pantanal. There he meets his cousin Antônio, a boy who lives far from any technology.
A coming-of-age story about digital dependence and unequal access to technology. Developed with FSA funding; the screenplay was presented at the Guiões Festival in Lisbon.
