The crown jewels of the empire rise and fall in this subversive and highly symbolic satirical short.

From a simple question, we travel through futuristic imaginaries. a game, an experiment. Cats, children, extemporaneous beings all in correlation in this short film directed by Thais de Almeida Prado and Fernanda Sanchez Valdivieso. Cactus: generally succulent and edible. large flowers, nocturnal flowering, pollinated by insects, moths, bats. wide anatomical adaptation. dry and hot environments. deserts. semi-arid, caatingas, cerrados. dimorphic branches, reduced leaves, photosynthetic. certain species develop ephemeral leaves, which last for a short period of time while a new bud is still in its early stages of development. psychoactive agents. ruins of civilization.

A boy dreams of being a man like the ones he lusts for. Does the man he becomes live as he imagined?
