Mano loves playing the guitar and goes to lessons from his special teacher. He has a brother, Pedro poetic and rather tormented while his parents, both professors, are about to separate. In fact, their father has discovered that he is in love with one of his residents and reveals the situation to his children, who experience the news as an irreparable tragedy: for them, discovering their father's homosexuality is like winning the lottery of bad luck.
"If a tragedy had to happen, couldn't a normal one happen?" argues Hand.
Meanwhile, the boy begins to discover sexuality and the pitfalls of the almost adult world....
Indeed, his father used to tell him that one is happy only during childhood and this passes in a moment, but he never thought he would be faced with such an impassable reality!
And "if to do the right thing you have to know first what you are doing wrong" Hand confides in his best friend by playing the truth game, he questions the ethical sense and friendship while neglecting his brother's situation that will soon reveal itself in all its tragic nature.
A film adaptation inspired by the book series "Mano" written by Gilberto Dimenstein and Heloisa Prieto, the film chronicles the adolescent cross-section of family school and society in a fast-paced and young, artistic and extroverted São Paulo through the intimacy of youthful experiences.
The world is a "tragedy of mistakes," including the one Pedro is about to make because "[w]hen you grow up, it's not impossible to be happy, it's just more complicated."
A film about adolescence putting itself on the same wavelength, speaking that language with extreme sincerity and without taking sides. A good film for teenagers who listen to a difficult, coarse, and consumer world and who try to digest it by transferring and giving back to the world itself what they have tried to understand.
