SYNOPSIS
Subtle and explicit aspects of various forms of social segregation manifest themselves in restrooms. They become evident in interactions, usage, and even in the physical space itself. How can these spaces act as catalysts for sexism, racism, class elitism, LGBTQ-phobia, and also exclude intersex individuals and those with bodies outside of prevailing norms? Through diverse perspectives and languages, different people share their restroom stories.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The first episode of the series Residual was produced in 2023 as a short film of the same name, funded by the Municipal Law of Incentive to Culture of Belo Horizonte. At that time, dozens of characters and locations for the next episodes were mapped. Currently, the short/episode Residual is in the festival circuit, having been selected in 6 showcases and festivals in Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. The project for the production of 5 more episodes is still in development and being submitted to labs and funding calls.
