A young student fears for her life after she finds her teacher eating a live dog on her way out of school.

The urgency in the girl's request and the signs of a possible invasion make the group look for a way to stop the possible invader.

Through the stories of these places, What Lies Between explores what remains when the screens go dark and the theaters disappear, reflecting on memory, urban transformation, and the democratization of cinema in Brazil.
