Drylands could be anywhere, just as Marcélia Cartaxo could be many women (including herself). The actress is placed in a situation in which she encounters nature and other female figures, in some instances, her doubles. Out of these encounters spring other possibilities that operate in the world of representation, which, in the film originate from the same imaginary power as children's games in empty lots.

A atriz Marcélia Cartaxo experimenta diversas possibilidades no mundo da representação. Em contato com a natureza, a paraibana relembra o trajeto de sua mais famosa personagem, a Macabéa, de A Hora da Estrela (1986).
