Ten stories or one. Ten moments in the timeline: 1972, 1999, 1550, 2083, 1891, 2012, 1618 – and the same reality: violence giving the final face to relations in brazil. a slave revolt on a coffee plantation, the torture of an indian, the kidnapping of an ambassador, jews hiding from the inquisition, a tortured woman who sees her torturer in the audience to which she tells the crime committed by him, father and son talking during the second war, a widow who lost everything in “ensiling crisis” and is forced to marry and lose her freedom.

Rebeca is a shy 13-year old girl. She has just moved with her mother to an isolated neighborhood in a small town, near Rio de Janeiro. Since someone is breaking into empty houses, Rebeca is forbidden to go out and spends her days alone, watching from above the wall the street where she lives. Until she sees Mika, a girl of her age, skating down her street. Soon Rebecca finds out that Mika is a trans girl. All this time, she’s been stealing small feminine objects from the local houses. The girls are bound together. Their worlds collide.
