After Brazil is partially scarred by the Third World War, an immigrant family settles in a remote town they name “I Forgot.” An indigenist enlists the three members to masquerade as indigenous during a general’s inspection. Caught between assimilation and personal liberty, the family drifts toward collapse while the city readies a space‑rocket launch.
