Plot
Marcos is a successful and married businessman in Italy. After years out of Brazil, he is forced to return to his country when his father Armando dies from a stroke. On his return, he finds his brother Tiago, who, on the other hand, is not intended for business. During the period of mourning, Marcos and Tiago have to live together by smoothing out their differences. To increase the conflict between the two brothers is the discovery of the existence of a half-sister who suffers from mental problems, Manuela, a daughter that Armando has always kept hidden from the whole family.
