Close encounter sightings
Directed by Gerson Sanginitto

A dark, obsessive investigation into UFO phenomena and personal loss that blends paranoia, existential dread, and the search for truth in an alien landscape.
A year after the disappearance of his son, Thomas Mathews, an investigative journalist, still has no information and begins his own obsessive search. However, the obsession has him losing his house and job so his boss sends him on special assignment in Brazil. In Brazil, Mathews investigates close encounter sightings that have taken place in the small cities of Quixada and Quixeramobim-also known as Area Q. While there, he realizes he will face the biggest discovery of his life.
