Synopsis

The largest airport in Brazil operates in an old indigenous territory. Guarulhos International Airport is a city within the city, where hundreds of thousands of passengers are transported daily and 35,000 workers support its operation. The Intrusion holds its gaze not upon those who pass by, but upon the people who remain at the airport. Throughout the film we follow five characters whose lives intersect in their daily work. The memories, dreams and challenges of Alex, Silvia, Antonia, Benê and Hélder are united by a common quality: the traces of a lost past in a constantly changing terrain.
