An erotic thriller set in a neon-lit roadside sex hotel on the northeastern coast of Brazil. It centres around Heraldo, a young man on the run after a botched hit, whose arrival disrupts the lives of the motel’s owners, Elias and his restless wife Dayana. With vibrant colours and intense atmosphere, the film explores themes of desire, power, and violence under the sweltering skies of Ceará. Premiering in Cannes, the film competed for both the Palme d’Or and the Queer Palm.
