Starring Antonio Saboia as Young man, Buda Lira as Man, and Vera Leite as Woman, the film unfolds in a stark, dystopian Earth where memory is scarce and strength becomes a tool for survival. The story follows two unlikely renegades, Retro and Pandy, who awaken naked with no memory of their former lives yet possess extraordinary physical capabilities. Their first hours are spent chasing basic needs—food, clothing, and a means of getting around in a city that barely breathes—and their chemistry is immediate, decisive, and volatile.
