Brazilian-born doctor André Cabral is living in London when one day he receives a letter from
his home country which he left nearly thirty years ago. A letter he keeps in his pocket for
weeks but tells no one about. The letter prompts André to remember the days of his youth -
torrid afternoons on Ipanema beach with his listless teenage friends parties in elegant Rio
apartments his after-school job at his father's surgery plastic practice - and above all his
secret infatuation with the daughter of his family's maid the intoxicating Luana. Unable to
resist the pull of the letter André embarks on a journey back to Brazil to rediscover his
past.
