Catarina, a 29-year-old woman, disappears and is found dead at the feet of the aqueduct.
Her son Manuel, a 13-year-old boy, does not believe that his mother committed suicide and begins an investigation into the aqueduct murderer, along with Leonor, an 18-year-old girl, with whom he ends up developing a peculiar friendship.

Arcos is a transmedia series based on the murderer Diogo Alves, the first Portuguese serial killer. He has the particularity of having killed more than 70 people in a single year by throwing them from the Águas Livres Aqueduct. After his capture, Diogo was beheaded and his head is still found at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon.
Our concept is to take this serial killer and show the events through the eyes of a child.
Given the country's circumstances, the pre-production phase was done at a distance, however our team is very enthusiastic about the project and full of energy and strength to carry out the pilot episode. We are using this means to obtain help in financing the project.
