Hey, Nando.

What's up, Lipe!

You look different.

Sorry I didn't show up sooner. I got tied up at work.

Don't worry about it. We'll get together for dinner tomorrow.

- How did you get that, Nando? - It was nothing Forget about it.

I'm going to my room and change, okay?

Okay.

Welcome, Nando.

Thanks, Lipe.

Lipe, you come and go like that.

- You came in really late. - I know.

Son, you promised you'd be here for dinner.

I said I was sorry, mom.

You have to apologize to me, not your brother.

What, you want me to sit down on the table and do what?

Should I coddle him, like you've done all his life?

I didn't coddle your brother.

I didn't coddle him and I'm not coddling you!

All I want is for you to be closer to us.

- Lipe, where are you going? - Out to drink.

Gonna get drunk at the bar, could I?

ARTIFICIAL PARADISES

Hey, the fagged is arriving. What's up?

- How are you? - It was hard to find the club.

I bet you're Brazilian.

And you're the DJ.

How could you tell? Dancing with you eyes closed...

They were closed, But I was seeing you.

Even I, the guest DJ, don't got the free pass to get in here.

A Brazilian friend of mine. Full of contacts.

- Let's have a drink? - Sure.

- Is that your friend? - He's the friend of a friend.

But he got us the invitations.

Are you just visiting Amsterdam?

First time, I came for a ride. here before.

Do you live here?

I've been living here for a while.

I used to play in Brazil and my agent got me a few places here.

Lucky girl!

You do what you like in an amazing city!

- Wanna take it? - No, thanks.

- Patrick! - What's up Anderson!

Have you seen Nando?

How did you get in here? Did he gave you the password?

No, it was a girl. I fucked in the bathroom.

Thanks for the invitation. It's a great party.

I'll be eternally grateful.

One day I'll move to this country.

TWO YEARS EARLIER

NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

ls everything okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine, thanks.

People say that one day, all of this will end.

All of what?

Everything

Nature, the world.

2012, do you know it?

- Planet X. - I've heard about it.

There won't be anything left.

- Is that why you're crying? - No.

I'm crying because I find it beautiful.

What's that one?

- Which one? - That.

This one. Peyote.

- Really? - Have you ever tried it?

It can be a deep, intense journey of self-consciousness.

You want some, dear?

Is that what you're looking for?

I'm still not sure what I'm looking for.

This plant is an entheogen.

Sacred.

The whole idea of this psychedelic trip

is transcending conscience.

To commune with the divine.

Listen up.

Have the utmost care.

Too much wisdom is hell on the stomach.

It has been scientifically proven

that excess selt-consciousness is vomit-inducing.

Better take some LSD for a chaser.

I'm good, thanks.

Have a nice trip.

Nervous for your set?

A little.

I don't know.

Just scared that I'll get nervous

and won't manage to put on my best show.

I'll build it up in my head and end up frustrated.

The way I see it,

you should feel confident 'cause you've been making it happen.

You have great taste, and study like crazy.

And my intuition tells me that it will be amazing.

You know that my intuition is powerful.

You know it!

Promise that you'll be watching out there in front?

Of course!

Miss your first festival? I'm not crazy!

You're going to rock.

Lara, check out what Mark gave me.

- You know what that is? - Peyote!

I can't believe it.

Let's do it now. Naturally.

- Now? Are you nuts? - Look at this place, Erika! Look!

We're meant to do it.

Let's do it now.

Take the smaller piece 'cause you were sick earlier.

- No way, the big one is mine! - God!

Let's go for a ride.

Oh my God!

It's all right.

Come back, come back.

What happened, Erika?

I don't know what happened... I don't know...

Open your mounth like this.

Yes, well done!

Can I do it?

When that fag showed up with his black friend,

I got crazy paranoid and thought it was the cops.

I was about to flush my stash down the toilet.

Nice, Patrick. What about my part?

You'd leave me out to dry?

Some friend you are, man.

What's this crap? I'd never let you down.

- You're my brother, man. - Real punk you are.

I love you, man.

Let me tip this guy.

I'm broke.

The chicks here are hot!

What are you drawing?

A house for us to live in?

Is this? you're gonna draw?

Hey, Mouse.

Baby, good talking to you! to find you!

- How was the gig? - It was wonderful.

Shame you couldn't come. Everything worked great.

Baby, I'm talking about Ibiza and Barcelona.

We're gonna make it happen! Full speed ahead!

My dear, You're the one!

- We have new gigs all over Europe. - Okay.

Your secretary mess up with last week's pay.

- I'll sort that out for you. - Please do.

Relax.

But if I'm spending more than two days away,

I have to bring Thomaz with me, okay?

Right, Patrick. I got it.

I'm just congratulating you for finally getting laid!

You did it, right?

- Did you get laid? - Do you mind. Excuse me. Get away

You didn't. I can't believe it, man.

- Nope. - Fuck, you're such a chump!

How in the world It's impossible, I can't believe.

Hello?

Hey, Lipe-

- Who's this? - It's me, Nando.

Hey, Nando. What's up?

- Is mom there? - Sure, wanna talk to her?

Nah, I called for you, No, I wanna talk to you.

Listen up, I'm in Amsterdam. Holland, man.

- What are you doing there? - But don't tell mom. Got it?

I told her I'd be in Sao Paulo

so she wouldn't freak out and start asking questions.

You know how she can be a hassle.

Right, I got it.

Lipe!

- Is that Nando, son? - Yeah.

- Send him a kiss from me. - Okay.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know.

You're my brother, so you gotta know.

So, is it cool over there? Have you had any weed yet?

- Sure. - Watch out on what you're doing.

Cool.

Don't worry, it's just a thing with Patrick.

All right, cool.

- Hey, let me talk to him. - Hold on.

Yo ET, I'm buying youa plastic pussy so you can pop your cherry!

Hey.

Right on, Nando.

Take care over there, and bring me something cool.

Right on. Love ya, lil' man.

- What did he say? - That you're a jackass!

Red Light District, man. Let's do it.

I gotta see that Cornelius exhibit, remember?

The one by Mark's friend.

Dude, it's your last chance to fuck someone in Amsterdam.

Fuck her for me.

You know,

you're the only square DJ I know.

I had my days too.

- I wasn't always like this. - Well, well.

But you could've tripped But you could've taken.

- No big deal. - I know.

It's just that I don't do that stuff.

Honestly, my first ecstasy was so incredible

that all the other times seemed a deception.

Nando, I'd like to tell you something.

The first time I saw you wasn't at that party.

That's strange what you're saying,
