Last Call to Leave Earth

(W/A) Cassio Ribeiro

When a mysterious photo changes their lives, three former friends, a haunted photographer, a fame-obsessed UFO enthusiast, and a devoted cult member, reunite to uncover the truth lurking in their small town.

Rita, Carlos, and Lucas were merely friends until a pivotal moment changed everything: they photographed what many in the small town of Caminho da Anta believed to be an alien. Years later, Rita, now thriving as a professional photographer, returns to discover the truth behind that fateful day and its effects on their lives and the community. A troubled photographer, a fame-seeking UFO enthusiast, and a loyal cult member are all in pursuit of answers, but what they find could be more extraordinary than they ever anticipated.
