What Is Sunstroke About?
The premise of Sunstroke without spoilers.
In a sun‑scorched, deserted metropolis, people of every age mistake the fever of sunstroke for the fragile stir of love. Like ghosts they drift among stark buildings and endless plains, chasing an ever‑elusive passion. Inspired by 19th‑century Russian short stories, the interwoven tales unfold in the surreal city of Brasília—a distorted mirror of a Soviet utopia set in Brazil’s desert heart.
