THIS IS LUNA

Luna!

Luna!

Luna!

My God, she is cursing me!

SIXTEEN HOURS
AND A NEW SEXUAL PARTNER EARLIER

Luna?

Just one more paragraph.

After this story,
everyone will turn vegan

and the planet will be safe.

Luna, wake up!

I'm just half a minute late

-and your head is already in the clouds.
-I was writing. I'm so inspired.

Every old man with cataracts
is a reader that print media loses.

Forever.

Sabrina, the world has changed,
but the journalist's mission

of bringing truth
to the world continues.

Then wake up,
because in here, even truth is relative.

I hate job interviews.

Why would you want to be a journalist

when people prefer
to believe Russian bots?

For the same reason
you studied art

and ended up designing résumés.

That was low, but fair.

Wait, I'll use the restroom.

-Hello, I'm Luna.
-Hi, wait a second, please.

EDITORIAL OFFICE

JOURNALISM
BEHAVIOR

I have good and bad news.

I found him,
the guy you have wet dreams about.

Brazil's cutest teenage model,

the guy you became a vegan for.

-Vini?
-Yes!

I didn't become a vegan to impress him.

Right, you're not a vegan.
I saw you licking butter off my knife.

-Turning vegan is more like a life goal.
-Really? I'm going to ask Vini

if he agrees.

-It's alright, I have a boyfriend.
-Right, you have Igor.

Luna, please wait here,
someone will come for you.

Besides, Vini is a gypsy,
so it's like dating a cousin.

-What's wrong with dating a cousin?
-There's no time to explain.

Vini!

Little Luna!

My grandma told me
I'd meet someone from the past.

Did she?

It isn't clairvoyance,
she knows there aren't enough jobs

-for journalism students.
-You're always skeptical.

Remember when I tried
to flirt using the horoscope?

-You did what?
-I can try again.

What do you think?

-It's so hot, isn't it?
-You're just nervous.

I'm nervous too.

The new editor-in-chief
got an Oscar nomination

for best short documentary,
did you hear?

I saw better ones,
and I watched everything

before I saw that Dante Montini did it.

I wish I saw it too,
but they called me so suddenly.

They said they liked me and...
It's the same old story, you know.

-They called you?
-Because of my appearance.

-Being cute is so tough.
-It is, actually.

Try finding a young model
that is taken seriously.

Dante Montini. It's so fancy.

What does he look like?

In my mind, he has a rugged face

from the desert wind
and the traumas of w*r.

-Did I tell you I became a vegan?
-Vini?

Dante is dying to meet you.
Would you come in?

Good luck.

-Luna?
-Yes.

Come.

Be strong, alright?

Don't sit down yet.
What's the earth's shape?

-Round.
-Reptilians?

-Do not exist.
-Vaccines?

-Are good.
-Great, you can sit down.

Pleased to meet you, I'm Clarice,
new editor of the Behavioral department,

and future savior
of the JournAW's finances.

-Not all gypsies wear long skirts?
-Did you watch my documentary?

I read the overview and it said
that you're a gypsy.

-Forget that, I need a clairvoyant.
-To interview?

No, for the new Behavioral department.

Your generation is desperate to find out
who they'll fall in love with

before the climate catastrophe,
everyone is hiring astrologers,

but I want to innovate
with a gypsy horoscope.

I'm more interested
in being a journalist

and researching the truth.

Honey, let me tell you something,
nobody cares about the truth.

What about the journalism department?

They are desperate to hire someone
with a lot of followers,

which is not your case.

-Yes, but...
-My God, why won't HR let me hire

that German diviner?

Here's the deal,
if the horoscope is successful enough,

I'll let you write
some news stories too.

-Can I think about it?
-You have 24 hours to decide.

You're lucky my daughter needs time

to answer my e-mail
about cultural appropriation.

-You can go.
-Bye.

-Hi.
-Hi. Thank you.

I'm sorry,
everything else had butter in it.

Well, if you ordered it, it's fine.

-So, did you get the job?
-As a fortune teller.

-As a what? A fortune teller?
-Yes, want to return the champagne?

No, we still have something
to celebrate.

Did you find out how to save
the giant anteater?

I always wanted to save the animal
that needs me the most.

Doesn't the anteater need you?

Polar bears.

He needs me a lot more,
so I'm moving to the North Pole.

Remember.

"Do everything you can
to save the whole world."

-Remember?
-How long will you stay there?

I'm not sure, but I'll spend one week

every year here.

You'll be my boyfriend
for one week a year?

Well, we don't need labels.

You know?

It's like...

Let's get detached from these labels.

We'll be together once a year
for a relationship we can't name?

Now that you mention it,
maybe one week is too much.

I need to talk to the NGO,
meet my family,

it's going to be a bit hectic,

but we can have
one whole day for ourselves,

that's for sure.

I want to die!

Luna, what did Igor do?

Did he cheat on you?

-Did he say something about me?
-No.

-He traded me for a polar bear.
-Romantically?

-That's a crime!
-Of course not, Sabrina.

He is going to the North Pole

to save the polar bears.

They still exist?
I thought they all drowned, how cute.

-They can swim!
-At least you got a job offer!

-As a fortune teller.
-They left a door open for journalism.

No, they left the bathroom window open.

-You know the horoscope is stupid.
-The horoscope isn't stupid.

Your grandma's cards are great.

They said it was going to be
a bad day, and look.

Also, if you learned how to do it,
I wouldn't have to call Mrs. Cecilia

-six times a day!
-You call my grandma six times a day?

Once for the horoscope,
twice for tasseography

and three to gossip.

If I ask her to teach me,

she'll repeat what she said
when I asked for the love spell.

"You must study the culture first."

It's an opportunity
for you to connect with your roots.

In the meantime, you can pretend.

-I can't pretend.
-You can't?

Then how do you pretend to like that job
with that couple of influencers?

I told them I was going
to donate my kidney today

-and they weren't even suspicious.
-Amazing.

Sabrina, give me back my phone!

-Luna, my God, how was the surgery?
-You look good!

Was it Teca's surgeon?

No, she didn't do her breasts,
that takes days,

she only removed her liver.
You lost weight!

-Her liver? That doesn't sound right.
-Luna, don't forget,

we'll do the food diary tomorrow.
You need to remind me when to eat.

I need to go, something went wrong
in the comment section.

This is worse than the horoscope.

I once made them use
the word "concatenate".

I've improved the vocabulary
of their two million followers.

-Did they use it in the right context?
-No.

Luna, think about it.

If it's not you,
it'll be the German diviner.

-That's it, you're taking this job.
-Not without a fight.

-I'm going after Murilo, from ZEZ.
-You're still stalking him?

I'm not stalking him,
he's the editor-in-chief,

I just want him to feel embarrassed
for not hiring me.

You know I always wanted
to work at ZEZ.

-The JournAW is a bad imitation.
-Come on, Luna.

If it doesn't work out,
I'm taking the fortune teller job.

He'll go to the same event
as Bia's team!

No, Luna, you know what Bia thinks
when more than three people

are close enough to touch each other!

Bia!

-Bia!
-Don't bother her,

she must be having a bad day.

It's a gallery.
You could sell your art!

-In NFT?
-That's where the money is.

You'd never have to make
another curriculum again.

-Bia!
-Bia!

Bia!

-We promise not to do it again.
-Like you did last Tuesday?

-It was urgent. We had no internet.
-And what happened now?

Your smart TV broke?

Guys, I'm a professional
Mortal Kombat player,

I'm not your tech support.

You need to save me
from becoming a fortune teller.

-A fortune teller?
-Long story.

They're opening the digital art gallery.

NFT.

-That would be good for you, Sabrina.
-Exactly, let's do it for her.

Please help me, I need to get in.

I need to ask Madonna's opinion.

Madonna,

what do you think?
Should I go to a crowded place?

She is clearly smiling.

She is so happy, she's almost laughing.

I don't know.

Madonna's feelings
are deeper than that.

She is hesitant.

But she likes it
that you're helping a friend.

Now I see it.

Who needs therapy
when you have Madonna, right?

Well, at least my team is here.

That's great.

They're cool guys, alright?

One of them could even be
your next boyfriend, Luna.

We never doubted
that they were cool.

They're addicted to k*lling
non-existent characters.

Can you stop insulting us?
These characters exist.

Within our hearts.

-Promise you won't leave me alone?
-Yes.

It's Murilo, from ZEZ.

If you want to, you can acquire it.

She looks like an art gallery owner.

Fine, I'll talk to my team.

Hi.

-You, in a party?
-Is the world ending outside?

Almost. A friend begged me to come.

I love how deep girls' friendships are.

If we had half that ability
to open up emotionally.

Luna.

Do you know who I am?

After one hundred e-mails I check
to see if it's not some serial k*ller.

I just think that ZEZ
is the world's best media outlet.

I know that,
you said it in every message.

I just wanted you to see my documentary.

-Take a quick look, please...
-Luna.

I didn't answer
because I didn't want to discourage you.

-But I did watch your documentary.
-Really?

-At least someone saw it.
-You should look

for a less endangered job.

We need nurses.
Someone to take care of the elderly.

The population is aging quickly.

Firefighter.
The world is on fire right now.

But what if I want
to be a journalist anyway?

I'd encourage you
to talk less and listen more.

To be a journalist,
you need to really care

about the human condition.

-Is this vegan?
-There's bacon in it.

The pixelated unicorn-cat

questions our epistemological paradoxes.

But isn't that a meme?

It's a meme that represents
the reproduction of our selfish genes.

The desire for survival
and reproduction.

How didn't I see that before?
It's so obvious!

Excellent choice.

-Do you have a lighter?
-I don't smoke.

Me neither.

How much do you want
to work here?

I'd prefer if you posed for me.

An artist with good instincts.

Whatever you want.

-Hi, my name is Dante.
-Dani? Pleased to meet you, I'm Luna.

It's unbelievable, right?

Some rainbow cat meme
is now worth millions.

No, I did the makeup myself.

The only nice thing here
is that puppy dog NFT.

-Dogs are awesome, right?
-Better than a lot of people.

-Do you have one?
-No, Fofi is gone.

At some point,
I'll be ready for another dog,

-but until then...
-Well, until then,

you can cry on my shoulder.

Did it hurt?

A little.

-But everything else is fine, right?
-A little.

Do you still read print media?
I keep the dream alive.

That's how you keep the dream alive?
Reading the horoscope?

-I hate the horoscope.
-I like that answer.

I don't get how so many people like it.

I think the horoscope
gets people better than anyone.

I mean, it's hard to be so generic
that everyone can relate to it.

That's what I call
understanding the human condition.

ARE YOU TAKING THE JOB, LUNA?

I need to go.

-Wait, where are you going?
-It's a work emergency.

Fine, but can I at least
get your number?

-Well, I just ended a relationship.
-And I just went through a divorce.

Great, a competition
between two losers.

Thank you
for the best sex I've ever had.

Bye, Dani.

GRANDMA, ARE YOU AWAKE?

I'M WATCHING OUR FAVORITE MOVIE, COME!

Hi, grandma.

The cards told me
you'd have a sleepless night.

How come your favorite movie
is about truth and journalism,

-and not about a sorcerer?
-Our favorite movie.

Magic only works
when a person is truthful.

Grandma, what is your favorite card
in the gypsy card set?

The child.

-Can you show it to me?
-Stop it, Luna.

I know you came here
with ulterior motives.

Please, grandma, they hired me
to do a gypsy horoscope at JournAW,

and if I do good,
I might get to write stories.

I need you to teach me
how to read these cards today.

Before dawn.

Did you tell your boss
that you're a clairvoyant?

-No, I said that I was a gypsy.
-They think we're all the same.

You're out of your mind if you think

I'll let you use our culture
without knowing anything about it.

Luna, you need to study for years
before you can read the cards.

Come on, grandma, with your knowledge,

you could teach me years of knowledge
in an hour.

-Did I hear "cards"?
-Don't start, Raul.

There are no male clairvoyants,
this much I know.

This is a gender stereotype,
our generation will end that.

-You'll see.
-Stop this nonsense, you two.

Only if you promise
I'll inherit your special cards.

-What special cards?
-The ones under the sink.

They've been in the family
for centuries.

Luna, wait.

Luna!

Don't just stand there,
go get your sister, Raul!

I have nothing to do with this.
It's a woman's thing, isn't it?

Luna!

Take it.

Excuse me, grandma.

Luna!

Luna!

Luna!

-Luna!
-My God, she is cursing me.

Good thing she never learned Romani.

And she missed the class
about gypsy curses not existing.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

I've always liked
the smell of that shampoo.

You remembered how I smell?

Not really,
I did ads for that brand.

I see.

So, how was it with Dante?
Are you going to work here?

I haven't meet Dante yet,
I'm with Clarice, doing the horoscope.

-She saw a gypsy and thought that...
-Yes.

At least we get
to see each other every day.

-Clara, do we have an agreement?
-My name is Luna.

-Yes, we do.
-Assistant!

Take Clara for a tour,
show her the "H", the "R", whatever.

-My name is Luna.
-Clara. Your name is Clara from now on.

-It's easier to just accept it.
-And what is your name?

"Assistant".

If you call me by my name,
Clarice won't get it.

She says that the HR people
are "H" and "R",

but she never knows
who's "R" and who's "H".

Hi, Dante.

This is Luna, she is a gypsy,
she'll write the horoscope.

-And this is...
-I'm Vini, we studied together.

-We studied journalism.
-A gypsy?

Can you tell me
if my name was Dani in another life?

I should start with my sign.

Yes.

The Heart.

The Lady.

The Sun.

It's always good
to wear sunscreen.

TAURUS: YOU SHOULD GO SUNBATHING

At least this makes some sense.

Don't be stupid!

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN,
DON'T FORGET TO PUT ON SUNSCREEN

Look for a gypsy girl

who is sunbathing.

What the hell, Luna!

I can't breathe like this!

Read us the right way, Luna.

It's right in front of you.

The sun is shining
for a gypsy girl's heart.

This means that your true love
is in this room.

-You don't have to be a fortune teller.
-It's quite obvious, right?

Of course it is.

What's wrong with this girl?

Be patient. She is new to this.

We finally have someone
to talk to again.

So, shall we start?
