Madalena: A broken body in a white dress, lying lifeless in a swaying soya field. The image of this motionless body lends an extra charge to everything that follows. Marcheti
follows three protagonists in turn. They don’t know one another, but are all in some way connected through Madalena. Luziane, a club hostess, knocks on her door for money.
Wealthy Cristiano inspects the vast expanse of soya fields for his demanding father. Trans woman Bianca and her girlfriends divide Madalena’s things between them while
reminiscing. Marcheti shot the film in the agrarian region where he grew up, capturing with great visual flair this largely unfilmed rural part of Brazil.
