Artificial Paradises

On a beach paradise in Northeast Brazil, Shangri-La - a huge festival of art and alternative culture - serves as a backdrop of intense sensory experiences between three different young contemporaries: Nando (Luca Bianchi), Erika (Nathalia Dill) and her best friend Lara (Lívia de Bueno). Without realising it, as mere pieces of a chaotic game of fate, the encounter radically changes their lives forever. An engaging story soundtracked by Brazilian electronic music, Artificial Paradises is a poignant story of love, overcoming the involvement of the young middle classes in drug trafficking, intense celebrations, conflicts and fates crossed through time.
