In the near future, during an endless summer break and with a solar eclipse approaching, 12-year-old Bego struggles to find her place within her family and among girls her age. As the moon “eclipses” animals and people around her, Bego meets REN__, an online friend, and through her discovers “shifting,” a practice in which teenagers believe they can access other realities through lucid dreaming. The film received a special mention in the Filmmakers of the Present section at the Locarno Film Festival.

First Brazilian screening at the 50th Mostra.
