Under Full Moons

A tale of parenting in Paris...
and the fate of the universe

A father’s life takes an unexpected turn in the City of Lights.

Vinícius embarks on a life-changing journey as he relocates his family from Brasilia to Paris to support his wife’s pursuit of a master’s degree. Taking on the role of primary caregiver, he finds himself immersed in the challenges of parenting in a new culture, navigating unfamiliar routines, and grappling with cultural differences.

But amidst the chaos of Parisian life, a strange phenomenon unfolds.

In the depths of his dreams, Vinícius is contacted by otherworldly beings, desperate for his help. They reveal a terrifying truth: the universe faces a seemingly inevitable doom known as the Big Rip, a cosmological event that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of existence. These advanced entities, capable of traversing time, are powerless to stop their own extinction and turn to Vinícius as their last hope.

The key to saving the universe lies in lucid dreaming.

Vinícius discovers that his ability to consciously control his dreams holds the power to alter the course of spacetime and prevent the Big Rip. As he delves deeper into this extraordinary reality, he must balance the demands of fatherhood with the weight of the universe resting on his shoulders.

“Under Full Moons” is a captivating blend of genres:

A heartwarming story of family and cultural adaptation

A thrilling sci-fi adventure that explores the mysteries of dreams and the cosmos

A philosophical meditation on the interconnectedness of life and the power of human consciousness

Join Vinícius on this extraordinary journey as he discovers the extraordinary within the ordinary, and learns that the fate of the universe may rest in the dreams of a father in Paris.

“Humanity’s experience of time, for example, has shaped everything. Imagine if existence were not perceived as an indefinite continued movement into the future. Would language have evolved this way? And mathematics? Would problems still be approached as operators that are applied to factors until an answer is obtained? Or even the other way around, when one goes backward from the answer to solve for x in an equation? And the scientific method, the basis of scientific advancement? The very stream of thought is time-oriented. How differently would knowledge of the universe unfold if our understanding of time changed?”
