Maximilian Moll's first feature roams with its two unequal heroes around Rio de Janeiro, a city in which life's ease and its difficulty go side by side. Edu, a successful author, falls in love with 21-year-old hustler Fabio. Their relationship is wild and passionate. Their sex is unprotected and, to Edu, much too dangerous. He discovers what it means to live for the moment.

Set in 1950s Rio de Janeiro, the film revolves around two sisters, living restricted lives with their conservative parents. However, each nourishes a passionate dream: Eurídice of becoming a renowned pianist; Guida of finding love. In a dramatic turn of events, they are separated and forced to live apart. They take control of their destinies, while never giving up hope of finding one another.
