Every year 288 thousand people attempt suicide in Brazil. The film documents the creative process of actors preparing a play about the re-encounter of a girl who has attempted suicide with her friends from a theatre group. The idea is to give a voice to the young people, those who have attempted, the friends and relatives of those who survive and those who die. The documentary proposes a recovery of self-esteem and hope for those who consider suicide, encouraging all to give a new meaning to their existence, indicating the possibility of new choices and pathways.
