The film is a contemporary rereading of Chico Buarque’s classic song “Geni e Zepelim”, released in 1978 on the album Rascal opera. The plot, set in the same year of music, promises to rescue and reinterpret the drama of the character that represents the pains and exclusions faced by marginalized people in a society marked by prejudice and hypocrisy.
According to production, the choice of Southern Cruise for filming was strategic.

The recordings continue in the coming months, and the debut is scheduled for the first half of 2025.
