We are in Rio de Janeiro, in the first half of 1950s. Eurídice, 18, and Guida, 20, are not just sisters for each other — they feel that one would not survive without the other. Both of them have a clearly defined plan for life, although they are growing up in a very conservative environment and in a dominating family. Eurídice desires to become a famous pianist, while Guida has a dream of finding a man she will love deeply and truly. The two women get separated by a series of dramatic events, and now live far away from each other, without virtually any real possibility to communicate. But they never lose hope they will eventually find a way to reunite, though...
