Pierre is seventeen and in the middle of puberty. He plays in a band, has sex at parties and secretly tries on women’s clothing and lipstick in front of a mirror. Ever since his father’s death, his mother Aracy has looked after him and his younger sister Jacqueline, spoiling them both. But when he discovers that she stole him from a hospital when he was a new born baby, Pierre’s life changes dramatically. In her new film, director Anna Muylaert explores the mother-child relationship through the eyes of a rebellious son whose whole world unravels overnight.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, a defeat in the 4x100 relay final forever marks the lives of the athletes. Three years later, Maria Lúcia, responsible for the elimination, continues to shine in athletics and in the media, while Adriana, who worked hard in the competition, lives frustrated by small MMA fights. In 2020, they have a new chance to rewrite the story at the Tokyo Olympics.
