Synopsis
Director

Hugo (14) receives an invitation to tour Europe as a cello soloist with the orchestra he plays in São Paulo. However, to leave Brazil, he needs his father's signature on his passport- a father he has never met before. He travels with his mother Rafaella, an archaeologist who studies vanished sounds, in search of his father to a semi-abandoned coastal town, which is being swallowed by sand dunes and where migratory birds are disappearing due to the climate crisis. On this journey, Hugo will find his ancestry, both on his father's side, which is Uruguayan, and on his mother's side, which is Afro-Brazilian, in what becomes a true family archaeology.
