    After naturally conceiving a child during the COVID-19 pandemic, a trans couple, Ísis and Lourenzo, embark on a journey across Brazil in search of something uncommon: respectful and specialized prenatal care. At the same time, they continue their daily struggle, both inside and outside their home, for the rights of their family in the country with the highest rate of trans murders in the world. Co-directed by Ísis, this film blends camp aesthetics with raw reality, delivering a fierce testament to love in an unfriendly society.
