A surrealistic drama exploring the consequences and process of choices in life and what comes afterward. A victim of a fire finds out the meaning of making a decision when she is forced to judge herself in an antechamber of the afterlife. Her only companions are a wise cracking, hard drinking woman and some shadowy figures from her past. Three doors, a steamer trunk, and way too much luggage, what if it all comes down to this?

A Deeper God thoughtfully examines the compatibility of science and religion. Does supporting evolution conflict with a belief in God? Is there a way to reconcile the two? This film discusses evolution and religion with scientists and members of the faith community in a debate that’s more nuanced than the conventional dichotomy. With credible sources and fast-paced discourse, A Deeper God challenges the traditional view of God and offers an alternative solution to this controversy.

In San Paulo, Lourenco is the owner of a second-hand shop. Little by little, he switches from a cold negotiator to one who takes unfair advantage of customers who are experiencing financial difficulties.

The diversity of people passing through his shop makes him see them as components of a great human catalogue. The cast includes representatives of new talent in Brazilian cinema such as Silvia Lourenco (Contra Todos), Alice Braga (Lower City) and Flavio Bauraqui.
