Overview
João is a quiet 13-year-old boy who feels increasingly disconnected from the world around him. His mother, absorbed by work, barely notices the changes taking place in him until his struggles come to light at school and she is forced to step in. Pushed into therapy, João meets Mariana, a woman marked by wounds of her own. Between them, a fragile bond begins to form, unfolding through moments that hover on the edge of reality.
