A film about a generation and a country in crisis: In March of 1990, Fernando Collor de Mello, the first elected president in Brazil after thirty years of military dictatorship, implemented an extreme economic plan which, in practice, confiscated Brazilian savings accounts. The country was thrown into chaos, and more than 800,000 young Brazilians had to leave their country to search for more opportunites... Fernando Alves Pinto is Paco, a young man who lives in Sao Paulo and is the son of a Spanish emigrant. Fernanda Torres is Alex, a Brazilain woman who lives in Lisbon, Portugal, trying to make ends meet. She is faced daily with the crude reality of having to live in another country. Igor, a shady antique dealer, recruits Paco to take a violin full of uncut diamonds to Lisbon. There, the destinies of Alex and Paco collide.
