Lúa and Noé's job is to select natural actors for a sci-fi movie. Working together for the first time, Noé, who comes from the countryside, doesn't think Lúa, an unemployed actress from the city, is the person for the job. Together they will travel to remote areas and make their provisional abode in the homes of the country people who take them in. Submerged in a foreign reality, they will encounter a Mexico that embraces them, but which also confronts them with their own fears and prejudices, testing their tolerance, their resistance and their fragility.

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.
