The exaltation of the black queer person's body is one of the most striking elements of Full Of Affection, which is not afraid to confront conservatism and patriarchal structures surrounding the theme of the body, especially when it comes to the body of an LGBTQIAP+ person. The film is an invitation to celebrate diversity and freedom, showing that all bodies deserve to be loved and respected, regardless of their shape, size, or color. Full Of Affection is a film that challenges the conventions of traditional documentary and offers an intense and emotional cinematic experience that will certainly be memorable for the viewer.

Based on the concept of crossroads, the short film "Encruza" addresses issues that go beyond black bodies. In an interconnected way, the narratives are constructed in the encounter of the characters. The elucidation of poignant conflicts are the ends of this crossroads that culminate in this great celebration that is the street carnival in Lapa carioca.
