- Synopsis
- In the past, in Maranhão: a girl is sitting at home drawing, while nearby, a boy learns to ride a bicycle. He falls, she goes to the window to see. They exchange looks.
  In the present, in Brasília: Sérgio, a hitman, is at a hotel party and he needs to do his job quickly so he can go to his son's birthday party. He even bought him a gift. In this same hotel is Gilda, a woman determined to end her life tonight. From the future: Pilar came looking for a film in which her grandmother starred. Even with the Police of the Future on her tail, the time traveler wants a catharsis, since when she comes from, cinema no longer exists, and everything is predictable. All these stories interconnect in a multi-plot comedy with touches of the absurd, going through murders, police from the future, terrorists doing crosswords and trivial coincidences. In the end, the time traveler needs to see the film before being captured, the hitman wants to see his son, even if he's late, and the two children who exchanged glances in the past, even without knowing why, want to see each other again, even when they are much olde want to see each other again, even when they are much older. Each point moves and needs the other to move forward. The shortest distance between two points is more subjective than a mathematical calculation.
