A letter he keeps in his pocket for weeks but tells no one about.The letter prompts Andr to remember the days of his youth - torrid afternoons on Ipanema beach with his listless teenage friends parties in elegant Rio apartments his after-school job at his father's plastic surgery practice - and above all his secret infatuation with the daughter of his family's maid the intoxicating Luana. Unable to resist the pull of the letter Andr embarks on a journey back to Brazil to rediscover his past.
