“O Esquema” (The Scheme) shows the reunion of two colleagues, one who hasn't lived in his hometown called Goiana/Brazil for many years and is coming to visit, and the other who has never stopped living in the city. This reunion is the trigger for the short film to go through several layers of the city's past and present, in a very unexpected way. While the film's discourse is very much tied to Goiana itself, it also manages to make a connection with any Brazilian city.
