A Extinção das Abelhas

Regina's mother walked out and her father died just as she reached adulthood. Two women next door, Eugênia and Denise, and their daughter Aline, who is like a sister to her, give her what love and help they can, but her chances of a different life are few. An internet advert leads her into camming, and wearing an ape's head she discovers a self she never knew, and in the cravings and shame of the men watching she meets her own long-buried ghosts, in a world sliding into a collapse that feels all too real.
