Once a year, every Saci Day, October 31st, also known as Halloween, the sacred book that brings together all the legends of Brazil is revealed. But on that date, other international mystical beings intend to steal the book and national legends and legends need to do something to stop them.

Dirceu, 30 years old, has origins that go back to the aristocracy of Northeast Brazilian backlands. Settled in a kind of subjective amnesia, Dirceu tries to bury his family's past. He is a demolition man in Recife, an urban landscape undergoing an uncontrolled process of transformation. Maria shares the same country origins, but she uses the city for a different purpose. She is a carefree and joyful music student. If Dirceu aspires to a world that is stable and present, Maria lives in discord with the present. To her, nothing is as it should be. Maria's apparition unleashes in Dirceu an urge for being somebody else. On a route of escape through the desert of the backlands, a unique encounter is set to happen. Boa sorte, meu amor (Good luck, sweetheart) is an anti-romance of the impact between music and silence.

In tropical Recife, in northeastern Brazil, temperatures drop to impossible lows and the inhabitants have to adapt. This 'mockumentary' gradually turns critical, looking at the climate, urban development and social interaction from every angle. Does a ray of sun pierce the clouds, after all?

Dans un futur proche… Le village de Bacurau dans le sertão brésilien fait le deuil de sa matriarche Carmelita qui s’est éteinte à 94 ans. Quelques jours plus tard, les habitants remarquent que Bacurau a disparu de la carte.

Brésil, 1978. La dictature militaire qui est encore en place, commence à montrer des signes d’épuisement. Dans un petit cabaret de banlieue, une troupe d’artistes provoque le pouvoir et la morale établis, à travers leurs spectacles excentriques et performances publiques où débauche, nudité et anarchie sont les symboles de leur lutte acharnée. Quand Fininha, un jeune militaire rencontre Clécio, le leader de la troupe, c’est le coup de foudre immédiat. Seulement Fininha est vite confronté à sa propre conscience : comment faire pour aimer un homme se battant contre l’ordre moral que ses compagnons militaires, et lui-même, doivent faire respecter en menant une répression sans faille.
