Passing through the mountains of Ouro Preto, through a peaceful rural area, through the heart of the metropolis Belo Horizonte and also through its periphery, each character in “Liberdade, though belated” lives a different reality. Elisa hides a great sin, João carries the pain of a loss, Felipe lives continuous nights of torment and Rosana, the anguish of protecting her best friend from an abusive relationship. Their conflicts are distinct, but the longing for freedom is what unites them.

Roberto Pontes, a private detective, is hired to prove a case of infidelity in a distant town. But on his way back to his office in the dead of night, he stops at a roadside hotel for the night, where a far more haunting mystery awaits him.
