A Última Estrada da Praia

Adri is a young woman newly formed arts in college who divides her time between the single friend, employment and therapy. One day she meets Mona, a well-connected architect and money. On the stairs of a building in Porto Alegre, a passion born of two very different people.

In a messy room, a slap knocks a woman to the floor. The attacker appears deranged, bathed in anger and tears. The reason that leads the two, apparently old acquaintances, to this state is not immediately revealed. We are quickly transported to another time, the 70s: violence, repression, dictatorship, the hippie generation, the counterculture. We met these two women, now friends, in a movie theater. Here begins a puzzle to be put together, where present, past and illusion mix and become confused.

Two teenagers, Vera Lúcia and Beto, run through the forest, full of expectation, enthusiasm and fear. She seductively invites him to swim in the river. Beto has to choose between going into the water and staying with Vera Lúcia. Many years later, Roberto spends the day at the foot of a waterfall with his wife, and confronts the results of his choices.
