Overview
Joana is the victim of a hit-and-run after antagonizing an aggressive driver who cut her off in traffic. On the surface, she’s visibly shaken but manages to walk away unscathed.

Reluctantly the pair enter the lives of culprit Elaine, her estranged husband Cléber and son Maicon, an introverted budding filmmaker.
