SINOPSE

Two parallel stories. One of them is the story of Mônica, 35, an actress frazzled by overexposure and the relentlessness of celebrity life. Her crisis deepens when she stays in Brasilia for a while as her husband takes care of his dying father. The other one is Kelly’s story. She is a 16-year-old teenager from a small town in Central Brazil, where Mônica has been shooting an independent movie. Kelly dreams of being like Mônica and unsuccessfully tries to speak to her. The girl will not give up and decides to try to meet her muse again.
