The neon-hued Motel Destino is a roadsi­de sex hotel under the bur­ning blue ski­es of the coast of Northern Brazil, run by the boo­rish Elias and his frus­tra­ted, beau­tiful wife Dayana. When 21 year-old Heraldo finds hims­elf at the motel, after mes­sing up a hit and going on the run from both the poli­ce and the gang he let down, Dayana finds hers­elf intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navi­ga­te a dance of power, desi­re and libe­ra­ti­on, a dan­ge­rous plan for free­dom emer­ges. In this tro­pi­cal noir, loyal­ties and desi­res intert­wi­ne, reve­al­ing that desti­ny has its own enig­ma­tic design.
