Thiago and Guilherme, two teenage cousins from São Paulo, Brazil, are disturbed by their grandfather's funeral. To avoid the unpleasantness surrounding the event, they run away to the families cabin, taking their friend Priscila with them.

One day, Eduardo arrives at his house and discovers that Julia, his wife, tried to commit suicide. She left her husband and two children without saying goodbye. After some time, she comes back home. He tries everything to set her straight, but the impossibility of knowing her fully grieves him. The shadow of the suicide and the inevitable ghost of a new chance hover over their heads. Eduardo insists on understanding his wife, but an increasing jealousy and an unexpected discovery of her past torture him. He does not realize that, most of the time, the search for control easily becomes an obsession.
