As Jack begins his gender transition process, Brazil is plunged into a wave of extreme conservatism. The film follows the transformations in his life and in the country, crossed by an extreme right-wing government and a devastating pandemic. Through an intimate account of the daily life of Jack and his friends, we see a network of affection and solidarity flourishing in the midst of an adverse context.
