A few years from now, a small village in northern Brazil mourns the loss of its matriarch who lived to be 94. Days later, Domingas and other inhabitants notice their village has literally vanished from most maps and a UFO-shaped drone starts flying overhead. Forces try to expel the residents from their homes, and soon, in a genre-bending twist, a band of armed mercenaries and their leader arrive, eliminating inhabitants one by one. A fierce confrontation ensues as the townspeople turn the tables on the villainous outsiders, banding together to protect their remote community. In English and Portuguese with English subtitles. Contains mature content, including violence and strong language.
