Ivo and Beatriz wake up in the same bed, still embracing. As they get dressed to go out, they talk, play, pretend to fight. Theirs is a relationship that could become serious. Then he accompanies her to work and goes to meet a friend, a good-for-nothing who has involved him in some dirty business. When Beatriz receives a telephone call, all she hears is Ivo's agitated voice, interrupted by a gunshot.
"Why this short film? For pleasure, for the pleasure of filming these actors, for filming the pains of love, this pain that can take us days to get over" (P. Caldas).
