Veronica, a young woman, lives in Recife, one of the most violent cities in Brazil. Her life is filled with fleeting love affairs and passing romances. As her father feels his death approaching, he asks a favor: that she finds true love before he passes away.

Iara, a 12-year-old girl, dreams of playing football. But her father, lost between the new challenges of his daughter's age and machismo, forbids the young girl from achieving her own dream.

Based on the letters written by Jonathan Hacke, an artist and mental patient at a psychiatric institution.
