Áurea, a solitary teacher, starts a singular relationship with a young man with whom she has a chance encounter. A sensitive soul, she finds herself attracted to his moving beauty which compels her to lose herself… She will slowly reveal her feelings in classes full of literature and mythology.

A key figure in Brazil’s Marginal Cinema movement, Júlio Bressane here reimagines the Greek myth of Endymion as a sexy, mysterious, and exploratory encounter between an older woman and a young man. A playful monologue on love, sex and the spiritual that isn’t afraid to have fun with hefty themes.
