Fábio Leal writes, directs, and stars in this award-winning first feature film about Francisco, who gets dumped by his boyfriend at the height of the Covid-19 lockdown in Brazil. To distract himself from sexual yearning, he jumps into a series of pandemic hobbies, including meditation, plant upkeep, and Jane Fonda workout tapes. Can Francisco—labeled “the Covid police” by his friends—extricate himself from his self-imposed lockdown long enough to find romance?
