4.0
Four stories portray the human being and his existential dramas. Bruno's life turns upside down when he is forced to take care of his newborn son as Helena, his wife, is afflicted by postpartum depression. Ronaldo, a 56-year-old man receives news of a terminal illness, as he prepares to receive his 80-year-old mother. Teenager Marta, 17, is plagued by the dictatorship of female beauty, and reaches her limits to achieve a perfect body. While the nurse Jorge meets Ana, they fall in love and end up having an extreme relationship that culminates in an unwanted pregnancy. The stories reveal the fragility of the human being in the midst of social relations.
