Synopsis
Alice is a forty-ish manicurist living in the outskirts of Sao Paulo in an apartment she and her husband, Lindomar, a taxi-driver, share with her Mother, Dona Jacira, and their three sons, Lucas, Edinho, and Junior. After twenty years of a marriage that is now largely sexless, neither Alice nor her husband have come to expect much from life together. The husband now has affairs with teenage girls while Alice pretends unawareness of his infidelities. All that suddenly changes when Nilson, Alice’s old teenage boyfriend, reappears on the scene. Alice sees in him the possibility of realizing her old romantic dreams, changing the course of her life—-and her finances.
