Sick and abandoned by his wife and son, Oseias decides to go back to his hometown after twenty years away. He has heard about his family only through sporadic phone calls from his younger sister, Isabela. The shadow of the suicide of their sister Ligia, when she was fifteen, lingers over Oseias as he tries to re-establish contact with his siblings. Each of them is absorbed in their own world: Rosana and her obsession with fitness; Isabela and her struggle to survive; Joao Lucio and his isolation. All of them are branded by loneliness.
