O documentário explora e conecta a arquitetura de Brasília, com as construções icônicas de Oscar Niemeyer, e o misticismo. Será que os formatos interessantes dos prédios captam energias cósmicas? Seria por isso que, em Brasília, afloraram ufólogos, cultos maçônicos e espiritualistas? A produção norte-americana mostra a capital brasileira como uma cidade que nasceu de desejos utópicos, mas não a retrata como uma vitória ou um fracasso e, sim, como um lugar que favorece cosmologias alternativas. Uma mistura de documentário com ficção científica que oferece poesia, mitos e um complexo retrato da vida.

The people at the centre of this film are lawyers, civil servants, housewives, managing directors and mothers. They are also alcoholics. In her documentary, Carolin Schmitz explores the protagonists’ stories and their strategies for survival: the little tricks they employ in order to try and get through their daily lives – lives which become increasingly difficult to manage the stronger the addiction becomes. Their fear of losing control and being exposed as a drinker create their need to conform, but the protagonists can only cope with this pressure by increasing their alcohol intake.
