Rodantes chronicles the lives of three characters: Tatiane, a young woman who leaves São Paulo in an attempt to rebuild her life after an unresolved past; Odair, a young man who’s in the midst of sexual discoveries, takes risks when he breaks away from his parental home; and Henry, a Haitian immigrant who, after the death of his wife, struggles with his two young children to survive amid the progress and Brazilian poverty.It’s in the state of Rondônia where they run into occasional moments, in the middle of chaos, without involvement greater than their own condition of ambulants.
