In Rio de Janeiro, in the city’s north side, a group of friends turn to making comedy and self-mutilation videos as a necessary escape from the harsh reality of their everyday lives and uncertain futures. From 2006 to 2021, fifteen years of images narrate the (mis)directions of a profoundly unfair city/country as much as the formation of a filmmaker’s gaze.
