Rodantes chronicles the lives of Tatiane, who leaves São Paulo trying to rebuild her life; Odair, a young man exploring his sexuality after leaving his parental home; and Henry, a Haitian immigrant struggling to survive amid Brazil’s poverty. As chaos unfolds in Rondônia, their paths will cross.

This impressive debut follows three drifters living on the margins in Rodôndia, all drawn from true stories collected as the director was travelling the state for a reportage. A sincere humanity emanates from the film’s striking, fluid visual style, blending both contemplative and tense atmospheres.
