Screenwriter:

Synopsis:
It’s impossible to live the same moment twice, but when you truly experience it, it becomes immortal — capable of repeating itself in a new and unexpected way. Serendipity is the kind of story you tell at a bar about two friends, separated by time and distance, who reunite through a happy coincidence.
Alice, a young and stylish woman, is moving to India, where she’ll stay for three years. Knowing this, Camila decides to go to one last party with her friend. There, the two share a euphoric moment as they get “pulled” into a special track that makes them feel, for an instant, like they truly belong there. But when the track ends, the feeling fades, leaving Camila in a sort of emotional hangover: the party ends, and Alice leaves for India, taking that unforgettable moment with her.
In a desperate attempt to relive what once was, Camila searches endlessly for that explosive track — but with no success. After many failed attempts, she finally decides to stop chasing the past and instead seeks new moments on dance floors around the world. Until one day — when she least expects it — the reunion with Alice happens, in a completely new place.
The emotion is overwhelming, but the show must go on. They head together to the front of the stage, and as they arrive, they are confronted by the very same track from that last night they shared. That explosive track. Once again, they get pulled in — but this time, the euphoria is even greater. Because now, they know for certain that everything they lived brought them exactly to this place, at this precise moment. And this is where they truly belong.
