A documentary that explores the history and impact of magazines, newspapers, fanzines, and other journalistic media produced by and for the LGBTQIAPN+ community in Brazil. The idea for the documentary came about in 2020, during the pandemic, when the director began studying the history of the LGBTQIAPN+ press, an investigation that resulted in a video for the filmmaker's YouTube channel, published in 2021. The film presents an overview of the LGBTQIAPN+ press, from the mimeograph in the 1960s to the internet today, and is also a portrait of Brazilian society and the evolution of the rights achieved by this community.

In 2019, Union Berlin was promoted to the Bundesliga. Four years later, the traditional East German club qualifies for the Champions League and achieves something that few would have thought possible. Despite all the euphoria over the triumph, the pressure to remain strong in sporting and economic terms also increased, as did the fear of falling into a conflict of identity between tradition and change. The fact that the soccer underdog from Köpenick still manages to retain its magic is primarily down to the people who work behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly and enthusiastically. Always at their side: a loyal fan base that is prepared to follow their club's path unconditionally. Hendel follows the team behind Union for almost two years, right up to their entry into the top flight, and takes a unique, particularly personal and authentic look behind the scenes of the club.
A vast, snow-covered forest, untouched by human presence. Two men cross it, bags on their backs, cross a frozen river and finally arrive at the peatland, a vast white expanse.

One day, their search leads them to a hideout in no-man's-land between Iceland and Russia, a place conducive to a different temporality. The wait begins. Over the seasons, they will stand there in these eight square meters of wood, silent amid an unchanging scenery, until they gradually become part of the “picture” and immerse themselves in the life of the wolves. A motionless adventure...
