About the film
A young woman named Camila, struggling to understand who she is, finds herself trapped in the perfect images social media shows off. One night, influenced by a mysterious figure named Renata, she dives into a world full of appearances and superficiality. Over the course of the night, the line that separates Camila and Renata fades and Camila enters a world of freedom, social acceptance and desire. During her search, she also faces the challenges that the bright lights of superficiality lead to, and tests her own perception of herself - who she is and who she wants to be.
