Dramatic comedy with a thriller twist, the film follows a young woman obsessed with crime and detective stories. One day, she is at a restaurant with her fiance, when she overhears two men talking about the best way to commit murder, so she decides to follow them. With locations on beaches like Ipanema, Leblon, Gávea, Sao Conrado, Laranjeiras and mayor Pereira Passos’ mansion, the film has shots of the Rocinha hill before the current slum and still covered by forest. Written by Dias Gomes, this marks the debut of actress Glauce Rocha in films and is the only feature film directed by Carla Civelli.
