Francisca and Carlos struggle to adapt to their new life after the suicide of their only son, Felipe. Immersed in fantasies, fear and melancholy they each have their own way of facing dramatic experiences. Carlos moves into Filipe’s apartment; Francisca, eaten up with guilt, wants to understand why the irreparable happened. An encounter with a neighbor, the ex-lover of their son, takes the process of grieving in an unexpected direction. Because, as the director, himself says, “We have to face the issue of suicide, since it is the main cause of death among youth in Brazill”.
