Overview
A deeply personal documentary that follows Benício Bem, a queer artist from Piauí whose music and identity are shaped by the vibrant fusion of Romani heritage and Northeastern Brazilian popular culture. More than a portrait of a performer, the film is an intimate exploration of gender, self-expression, and resistance. In a society where queerness and regional culture are often marginalized, Benício embarks on a symbolic and cosmic journey of affirmation, challenging binary norms, confronting stigma, and reclaiming space as an LGBTQ+ artist in a conservative landscape. Through his voice, body, and artistry, he navigates questions of visibility, belonging, and the spiritual dimensions of identity.
