The film tells the saga of Guima, a young poet who believes he suffers from “solar ultra violence” during the hottest summer in 50 years in Salvador. The alleged disease is caused by the relentless heat that hits the city. Under the marginal eyes of Guima, in a mix of reality and fantasy, the film presents a tropical/chaotic Salvador, as opposed to the stereotypical city seen in postcards, on a journey of a search for a redemptive air conditioning that can rid this contemporary antihero of what suffocates his existence.
A man and his struggle against the inevitable corrosion process of the flesh and his attempts to dominate it, postpone it, ignore it. He is a Post-Exu, a pré-cyborg that cuts through the city like a rock and roll radical note. Welcome to the other side, the one that should not be seen, the dark side, the inexplicable. Welcome to the Sarcophagus.
