- Synopsis
- Overprotective single parent Geraldo loses the ability to feel emotion after an iron bar runs through his skull in a work-related accident. Fearful that he will stop caring for his rebellious teenage daughter, he goes on a journey from São Paulo to Rio Grande do Sul in order to leave the girl in his ex-wife's care. On the way, however, Geraldo starts showing signs of violence due to his condition. The daughter tries to recapture her father's affection, but he becomes more and more guided solely by his sense of responsibility. And even this tenuous thread connecting father and daughter might break.
