BREEZES OF LOVE

- Has Alcida arrived yet? - No.

That romance with the congressman is going full steam ahead.

Love is love.

Sentinha, take off that apron, and let’s go shopping, okay?

Hey, son, don’t forget to take the checkbook, did you hear me?

- Did you hear me? Did you hear well? - Hey, no need to shout.

- Then answer. - What?

See? You didn’t even hear what I said. You’re lost in the clouds, son.

It’s the age, some kind of crush.

You're in love, son.

Hey, mom, are you going to start with your nonsense now?

What did you want?

I just wanted the checkbook.

I know, but I won’t forget it.

Wow, you’re in a bad mood, huh? Don’t take it out on me, okay?

Let’s go, Sentinha.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

In these past two months, I’m always thinking about you.

This is love, isn’t it?

Now I’m more sure about my feelings.

I know I love you, and I know you still love me too.

My parents and I will be there in the next few days.

Just a few minutes. A huge kiss. Ester.

Ester.

Ester.

Gustavo is here; he wants to talk to you.

All right, I’m coming.

He’s upset he’s not going with us.

- I think it’s better to tell him everything. - No, please, it would be a scandal.

Think of me, think of your father; I wouldn’t have the courage to face his family.

- And what did you tell Gustavo? - I told him that story about the aunt.

But what a ridiculous story.

Ester.

Please, don’t contradict me.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

So-so. And you?

Not great. What’s this about me not being able to go with you?

Didn’t my mom explain?

Yeah, she did, she said it wouldn’t look good for us to be together, that your Aunt Ophelia wouldn’t like it.

So?

That’s silly.

Last time, I went, stayed in a separate room, and no one cared.

Well, Aunt Ophelia wasn’t there.

And who is this Aunt Ophelia I’ve never heard of?

She’s my dad’s aunt who lives in the countryside and goes with us. She’s very formal.

This is too old-fashioned.

We’re engaged; there’s nothing wrong with staying in the same hotel.

Gustavo, why do you insist?

Or is there another reason?

Another reason?

I don’t know. You’ve been acting weird lately.

You’ve been avoiding me, and I miss your kisses.

Not here, Gustavo.

- Let me go with you, come on. - Let go of me!

Let go, let go of me!

It’s so hot.

Ester, don’t take too long; your dad’s waiting for you.

So, does this really mean I can’t go?

I’ve already explained, Gustavo. Alberto’s family is very traditional, conservative, just like yours.

But we’re engaged!

Precisely why we can’t make it too easy.

But I have never disrespected Ester.

Of course, you haven’t.

Why? Has someone else disrespected her?

No, it’s not that.

Look, Gustavo, our decision is final; if you’ll excuse us.

All right. We’ll talk when you get back.

Okay.

- Have a safe trip. - Thank you.

Give a hug to your father and mother, a big hug to everyone, all right?

- Thanks. - Okay, dear. Bye.

Bye.

Why are you looking at me like that?

If it weren’t for your stubbornness, this story could have a different ending.

- Ester... - He's not coming.

Fine, as you wish.

But this decision will only harm us.

It’s so selfish.

Imagine if it had happened in the middle of it all; it would’ve totally ruined the mood.

True, I forgot to turn it off.

This wasn’t part of the plan.

Let me answer it.

Hello? Yes?

Oh, no, it’s you again?

Yes, it’s me.

You were just like in those filthy movies you make, weren’t you?

You get tired of sleeping around in films and then have to do it in real life too?

And afterward, you pretend to feel guilty.

Listen, why are you tormenting me so much? What’s your deal?

Why did you hurt me? Why? Why don’t you just leave me alone?

Hello!

Listen, what are you after?

Who paid you to keep bothering her?

Come on! Speak. Hello? Hello?

He hung up.

...

Don’t take it so hard.

It’s just a prank call.

It’s not, Celso.

It’s cruelty from someone who wants to drive me mad.

The worst part is he knows personal things about my life.

Last week, he said horrible things.

Did you happen to mention anything about my life to someone?

Me?

Yeah. You’re the only person who knows my problems.

Of course I do, just like maybe some friend of yours or your ex-husband, but that doesn’t mean anything.

Then someone from production must’ve read the script.

Did you put aspects of my life into it?

I never denied that.

Honey, we’ve been together for almost a year, and I’ve always loved you as you are,

with all your quirks and everything.

I think you’re right.

But I still think someone in our circle is behind this.

Maybe, but don’t let it get to you, okay?

You need to focus on your movie, on our movie.

Do what I said: tomorrow, go to Mrs. Lídia’s hotel.

When filming starts, I want to see you with a nice tan.

Really tanned, okay?

Okay.

No, this can’t stay like this.

But it can.

You committed adultery,

you were caught red-handed, and consequently,

he has no more obligations to you.

- Please, calm down. - I can’t take it anymore.

I’ve sold some jewelry, some paintings to pay the water and phone bills and other things.

I can’t take this hardship. I don’t intend to go back to poverty.

Well, you should have thought of that before being so reckless. Now, calm down.

You’re here as my lawyer and my friend. I want help, not a lecture, okay?

Calm down.

Do you think you should find another rich guy?

After all this scandal?

Then try to win Danilo back.

No one knows where he is. Did he disappear?

But I know.

He’s in Mongaguá, emptying his bank account.

Why would Danilo stop there?

This water feels amazing.

Incredible.

You come here every day, and every day you seem just as happy.

When I don't come here, I feel good for the rest of the day.

This water gives me strength.

I've already told you, you should do the same.

I can't. A man my age.

Oh, that's nonsense.

Really.

In front of your beauty and this place...

I feel like I'll disturb nature; a storm could break out.

What nonsense.

I think it's because of what you said to Mrs. Lídia.

- Yes, I am very self-critical. - Who would've thought, huh?

My little girl is using big words now.

Being with you, you're so smart; I've learned so much in this time.

And you've given me so much peace.

...

I love you so much.

Look, Olavo, I don't want to explain myself.

While you talk to him, and your father, we’ll talk to Mrs. Lídia.

Don’t let your guard down, Olavo.

Don’t fall for that woman’s talk.

Leave it to him, Luci.

Mom, I already said I don’t want a scandal.

- If he doesn’t want to- - None of this wanting or not wanting.

Where have you seen this? Life isn’t a game, girl, and we were born to live well in society.

Look here, don’t come at me with these modern ideas of an independent woman, okay?

Look, Olavo, you need to talk to him seriously, okay?

Leave it to him, Luci.

Thanks to the city, I'm feeling much better.

And you can tell.

When you got here, you didn’t look good at all.

You were very depressed.

I also came from a rough place.

As they say today, what a struggle.

You haven’t gone back to São Paulo, have you?

And I have no desire to go back.

When I left, I swore never to return.

For what? For what?

When I married that woman, my married daughter distanced herself from me,

and with her, my grandson.

And after that, didn’t you look for her anymore?

I did.

Both she and my son-in-law wanted nothing to do with the scandal.

All I had left was to say goodbye...

to politics, the city, the family.

Yeah, that must have been tough.

It was.

I was proud but wounded.

Then, all of a sudden, I found myself completely alone.

So I began wandering.

In the end, I was running away.

Until I ended up here.

In Mongaguá, thanks to you.

Not me, Sida,

with all her youthful energy.

What is this, Mrs. Lídia?

She really likes you, you know?

I like her a lot too.

Did you know I’d promised myself never to get involved with a younger woman again?

Sida could be my daughter.

It can't work.

Come on, Mr. Danilo, that’s silly. Age doesn’t matter.

Let me tell you a story.

When we lived in São Paulo, we had a neighbor who was 60 years old.

Knowing you... Just a moment.

Hi.

Hello, Zeca, how’s it going?

All good.

Hey.

Hi.

Wonderful.

Oh, it's a pleasure to see you.

How are things?

- All good, and you? - All good.

- How’s Mr. Olavo? - Fine, ma'am.

- And you, young lady? - All good.

- I’m going for a walk. - Me too, mom.

Oh, don’t you have to.

In a hurry, huh?

Youth’s rush.

Excuse me, I’m going to take a bath.

Go ahead.

I want to start with you.

But you seem so worried.

What’s wrong? Are you having marriage troubles?

It’s nothing like that.

So are your business matters not going well?

No, no, nothing like that.

Look, the thing is, this requires a lot of discretion.

Yeah, the problem is with our daughter.

Ester?

But Ester seemed fine to me.

It’s just that she decided to end her engagement; she’s fallen for someone else.

Well, that’s so common.

And also, she's pregnant.

- What a shock. - That’s right.

And do you know who’s responsible?

The irresponsible one, you mean?

Yes, who’s the irresponsible one?

Don’t you have any idea?

It's your beloved son, Zeca.

Oh no.

Oh yes, we came here to make a decision about it.

I think Zeca doesn’t even know that Ester is…

No, he doesn’t.

She went out with him just now to have a conversation, to talk seriously about it.

Did you miss me?

Mm-hmm.

Do you remember how we met?

Of course. I’ll never forget.

It was after school, when I went into the restaurant.

Of course, I did it like this.

What’s that for, Gustavo?

You should have seen the duck face he made.

Serves him right!

Your mom always says you’re a really clever boy, huh?

Can you imagine, Luís!

What’s this, Gustavo? You lied, didn’t you?

Are you finishing your economics or business administration degree?

- Business administration. - That's great, isn’t it, Olavo?

Very good, Gustavo.

You’re becoming a good businessman.

So, when I found you at the beach, I started feeling more sure about things.

You were on my mind too...

Alright then.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Aren't you coming?

No, I'm just going to go for a walk.

Hey.

Hey, how’s it going?

Better now. Can I sit down?

Mhm.

You know you really made an impression on me.

And did I make one on you?

A little.

You're very pretty.

I really love things related to the land, you know?

That's why I’m thinking of studying agronomy.

I like everything natural. Everything, like you.

I never imagined these days would shake me up so much.

We’ve only known each other for three days, and it feels like so much longer.

And tell me about your fiancé.

Are you asking me to make a decision?

No.

I'm not demanding anything.

I’ve already told you I don’t like feeling pressured.

I just want to know.

I don’t know how I’ll face everything, but I’ll wait to think about that starting tomorrow.

We’ll be back tomorrow.

Listen to me.

I can't hold back.

Me neither.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

These houses have been abandoned for a long time.

Nobody’s tying me up here.

That afternoon, my happiness was complete.

I'm pregnant.

Really.

And I'm the father?

Who else could it be?

I don’t know; I don’t keep track of your life.

Maybe your fiancé.

Listen, in my whole life, I’ve only been with two people: you and Gustavo.

Then it could be him, right?

No. The doctor says I’m two months pregnant,

and it’s exactly two months since we met.

Oh, and at that time you didn’t sleep with Gustavo?

No, I didn’t.

Listen, what’s your problem?

I have no reason to lie.

If you’re scared there’s no one else for me, then I...

Calm down, I’m sorry, love, sorry. I got nervous, I apologize.

Let’s think calmly about what we can do, alright?

Your parents haven’t looked for you at all?

They already know everything. And by now, they’ve told your mother.

Damn it.

No, no. My son is not to blame.

Or irresponsible.

Listen here. When one doesn’t want it, two don’t.

Your daughter is a woman, right?

So, she has an obligation to know nowadays if she’s ready for…

what you well know.

Therefore, she’s more responsible, and my son could very well have been misled.

Sure.

That’s beside the point.

Your son has an obligation to take responsibility for the baby and marry Ester.

Obligation?

It’s the law.

Olavo is the head of the legal department of a big company.

It’s the law, right, dear?

Yes.

Listen, Mrs. Lídia...

I’m not interested in whether it’s the law or not.

What I don’t think is fair is to pressure Zeca for your daughter’s irresponsibility.

After all, he’s just a kid.

A kid?

But he didn’t act like one at certain times.

And if he was mature enough to dishonor my daughter, he has to be an adult now that she’s pregnant.

Calm down, Luci.

Or do you want my daughter to be a single mother?

Mrs. Luci, please, we’re adults. Let’s face this calmly.

You’re nervous, relax.

Excuse me. We’ll talk later.

Try to calm down, alright?

It’s better.

- Luci, you’re overreacting. - Stop it, Olavo.

Leave me alone, don’t bother me.

Hello! It’s so nice to see you.

You look beautiful!

You look great too.

I expected you only on Monday.

The film crew is coming that day, but I decided to come early to rest.

May I, ma’am?

Of course, you’re always welcome.

Listen, about Zeca…

Yes, about Zeca, he’s in trouble, girl.

So, the parrot heard and replied.

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon. - Can I help you?

Yes, of course. Please.

Do you know where the Monte Mar Hotel is?

Monte Mar.

Oh, yes. If you want, I can take you.

Thank you, thank you.

Wow, what a machine.

Another trophy for his head.

Do you happen to know Deputy Danilo Moratti?

Oh, I know him.

I’ve seen him around here.

We just greet each other; he’s very nice.

At first, when he arrived, there was a lot of talk because of that scandal.

Heard about it?

Yes, somewhat.

Yeah, but then they left it alone.

It wasn’t his fault.

Yeah, but a man never knows when he’ll marry a woman like his wife.

Right?

Nice to meet you, and thank you very much.

The pleasure is all mine.

Carlson.

At your service.

Thank you.

I’ll see you around.

I have dinner here at the hotel every night.

Goodbye.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Deputy Danilo Moratti is staying here, right?

Yes, but he’s out.

He should be back later. Do you want to leave a message?

No, no. I’ll wait here.

I’m his wife.

Wife?

Yes, his wife.

Why? Can’t he have a wife?

No, it’s just that he said he wasn’t married.

He's separated.

Whenever we’re going through a rough patch, he makes up these stories.

I came to surprise him.

Can you give me the key?

I don’t know if I can.

What do you mean, you can’t?

I just follow orders.

What a lack of manners.

Such a lack of courtesy. Fine. Here it is.

Do you want my marriage certificate too?

But he didn’t authorize me.

Because he didn’t know I was coming.

Are you the judge separating couples?

- Come on, girl, give me that key. - No, it’s better to wait for him to arrive.

Is that how you treat a guest’s wife?

The wife of a deputy? Come on, give me that key.

Could you calm down?

What’s going on here?

What’s all this commotion?

She said she’s Deputy Danilo’s wife.

Said she’s not. I am.

Good afternoon.

Good morning, actually.

Good morning.

You must be the hotel owner.

So charming,

just as Danilo described you in his letters.

Letters?

Yes, he wrote me several letters asking me to come,

but I didn’t reply, you know? We were in crisis.

Now I decided to come to surprise him.

And I asked her to give me the key, and she won’t give it to me.

I see.

You can give her the key.

Thank you.

Ah, and her family is a bit snobbish.

I don’t understand something:

determination isn’t dependent on social class.

If you really like her, then being together won’t be an issue.

But Ester doesn’t want to live here, and I’m not really into big cities.

One of us will have to compromise, right?

Yeah, that changes everything.

It changes all my plans.

You know, I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring a child into the world without a home, without a family,

but I didn’t want to get married just yet.

I like Ester.

A lot, but I think we should get to know each other better.

And even when we think we know someone well...

many surprises come up.

See you later, Danilo.

Goodbye.

Hi.

Your key is in the room.

Hey, Sida, wait, come here.

Hello.

Hello.

And goodbye.

Please, give me another chance.

We haven’t spoken since.

- I need to explain to you. - Explain what?

Is there an explanation for your behavior?

Yes, there is.

If you’d paid more attention to me...

You wouldn’t have become an alcoholic, much less a prostitute.

Isn’t that what you were going to say?

Please, Danilo.

If I’m drinking to handle all this, to face you.

And before, why were you drinking?

Because I was already feeling neglected.

Lacking affection, love.

We talked about it.

Remember?

I remember.

Of course I remember.

On the eve of my trip, there was that dinner with the party congressmen.

Me, in the middle of my speech, watching you welcome Sida again.

The drinks only emphasized our usual unity, and...

And so, I allow myself, dear Alberto, I’ll call you governor,

since there’s no doubt that together we’ll succeed.

Victory!

Victory!

Congratulations.

Well deserved.

Congratulations to the family.

It’s not the first time you’ve gone overboard in public.

Stop drinking, Elza.

Danilo, I’m so anxious, so lonely.

I can’t stand these dinners, these meetings anymore.

They’re so tedious.

When you married me, I was already a public figure.

I was already in the political campaign world.

Yeah, but in the other elections, you didn’t leave me so often.

You didn’t leave me alone, and even so, you won the elections.

So, darling, I don’t see why so much anxiety.

But now it’s different, it’s all harder.

I can’t afford to slack off for even a minute in this campaign.

One minute you can’t, but a few, of course you can, right?

I’m so tired. We have a long journey ahead.

And then you ask why I drink.

Goodnight.

Alright, I was a bit harsh, but understand, it’s just a phase.

I’m tense with this campaign, but when it’s over, we’ll go on a second honeymoon.

I promise, okay?

By then, it might be too late.

What do you mean?

I’m tired of waiting.

Darling, it’s just a little longer.

Pedro.

Pedro.

All good, thank you.

- How can I help? - Do me a favor.

- Get my suitcase from the room. - Yes, sir.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, doctor.

- Want a cup of coffee? - No, thank you.

We’re already late. Shall we go, doctor?

Goodbye.

So, I wish you good luck.

Good luck, dear.

We’ll talk when I get back.

Alright.

Goodbye, Danilo.

Goodbye.

- Pedro, take care of the house for me. - Don’t worry.

What did you think of the new security guard?

Who?

Oh, Pedro?

Yes.

He’s nice, polite, attentive.

Alright.

That trip was a marathon.

Between rallies and meetings, I started receiving strange notes and warnings.

All saying the same thing, that I was a fool and that my wife was sleeping with someone.

At first, I didn’t pay attention, but then I started to feel shocked.

The situation was unbearable.

I decided to stay.

- Danilo, wait. - What?

Wait, take it easy.

- Let go, leave me alone. - Take it easy!

Hey, calm down.

- Hey, calm down! - Bastards!

- Calm down. - I’ll kill you!

You bastards!

Stop!

Oh, photographers!

Danilo, go!

In light of this whole scandal, it’s best for you to withdraw your candidacy.

But it’s not fair.

Danilo, if you insist on continuing, you’ll hurt the party. Think about it.

Dr. Danilo.

Phone call for you.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

How did he know?

Yes.

Thank you.

Do you know who called me?

A friend of mine.

He found out who tipped off the reporters.

It was Pinheiro.

Pinheiro?

Man, the opposition is resorting to cheap tricks.

A setup with help from one of our own!

You bastard!

I thought you were my friend.

Calm down, you’re wrong!

Wrong, my ass!

Did you get a huge payout from Pinheiro’s son?

Why, you bastard? Why?

- I was there. - Not a penny.

And besides, if I didn’t do it, someone else would have.

Understand, Danilo. Your wife was being obvious.

Drunk and throwing herself at everyone.

You bastard!

Calm down, Danilo.

It won’t help anything.

Either way, your political career is over.

It was the end.

In one night, your recklessness had ruined an entire career.

Didn’t it cross your mind the harm you were causing?

I swear I didn’t know about the setup.

Yeah, but it’s too late to talk about it now.

- It’s over. - No.

For all the resentment that remains,

I still hold on to the love we once had,

the passion of our early years.

Remember?

You used to say my body drove you wild.

Every time I revealed myself...

you got unsettled.

Don’t I unsettle you anymore?

Am I ugly now?

No, Elza. You’re still a beautiful woman.

Is the food good?

It’s fine.

Excuse me.

Bye.

Good evening, Mrs. Lydia.

Good evening.

Hi, Diana.

Hi, Lydia. How are you?

How are you doing?

Oh, my dear, you wouldn’t believe it.

Come here, and I’ll tell you.

I don’t know what the task is now.

But at this rate, you’ll empty the hotel’s stock.

What a waste.

If I’m drinking, it’s because I’m happy with you.

It’s delicious; aren’t you eating?

Why aren’t you eating?

If it comes down to it, you should press him with all your legal knowledge.

I already told you, Luci.

Any young guy knows the law only requires acknowledging the child when the girl is of age, like Ester.

But not marriage.

There might not be a legal solution.

Where’s your knowledge?

What kind of lawyer are you?

Look, I don’t want to stay in this humiliating situation, especially since Esther doesn’t want to cooperate.

Could you at least talk about something else during dinner?

Calm down.

They won’t stop until they get Zeca to commit.

That girl, I’m telling you.

Imagine getting pregnant these days.

At least back in my time, there were no pills.

Then came the gossip.

Poor thing, took a wrong step.

A wrong step.

A good step.

Sometimes big, sometimes small.

You must have been a handful, huh?

Oh, I really was.

I really enjoyed my youth.

This is what I wanted for my son.

He’s still such a kid.

Don’t worry.

Everything will work out. You’ll see.

Look, today’s tragedy can be tomorrow’s comedy.

Isn’t it brilliant?

Yes, congratulations, girl.

No, that line isn’t mine.

It’s Celso’s.

He’s got a fantastic mind.

He supports me in every way, Lidy.

He handles my struggles, my neuroses.

All my issues as an erotic actress.

Still? And what about therapy?

It takes time, but I’ve improved.

But, you know, when a nasty comment comes up…

I get affected. Hard as it is to believe, Lidy…

I still haven’t gotten used to working in these movies…

Or being featured in those scandal magazines.

It couldn’t have been easy, indeed.

And it isn’t.

Yes?

The bill, please.

Fixed price, 600 cruzados.

Thank you.

There was an actress.

A colleague.

She tried to lead a life.

A normal one.

A kind of housewife.

What might happen, I can’t bear it.

Hi.

Hello.

I think we need to talk.

Why? For more lies?

What lies?

You told me you weren’t married.

And I wasn’t.

I stopped being married.

I’ve been separated for a while now.

It’s just that I...

I know the whole story.

Mrs. Lídia told me.

I just didn’t know you liked her.

There’s a past between Elza and me.

A beautiful past.

And now I’m confused.

Then stay with the past.

Hey, where are you going?

To the present.

To the future.

Hey, sweetheart.

What miracle is this, calling me?

Nothing.

I just felt like it.

Are you over your NAMPS phase?

Liking older men is just social security.

He’s not old.

Get over it and stop the silly jokes.

Ester! Ester!

Hi.

Hi.

We can’t talk anymore. What happened?

It’s such a drag.

They don’t stop talking about it.

My dad looked for you after dinner, but you’re sharp.

I had to take care of some things in town.

I see. Running into you.

This decision, we have to make it.

Ah, Ester.

Come on.

- Bye. - We’ll talk tomorrow after ten.

- Alright, bye. - Bye.

Zeca, all good?

How are you?

- What happened to your foot? - Just a small, unimportant notification.

Listen, is Eliana there?

I think she is.

Go on in.

Bye.

Who is it?

The collector.

- Xuxu! - My love!

My kitty!

What happened to your foot?

Just a small, unimportant notification.

Can I come in?

Of course, my love.

I want to have a child, our child.

Then let's try, cast and all.

Hi, Silvia.

Still upset?

Please, it’s great watching you drool over that woman.

I get it.

Get what?

That all this time you lied, saying your marriage was over?

Look, I didn’t lie.

I was a fool, thinking you cared about me.

Did it not cross your mind how much your lying hurt me?

- Calm down, Silvia. - Misleading me?

Silvia...

Listen, Silvia.

This isn’t right.

It’s not right, no.

Listen.

I won’t deny that Elza showing up yesterday shook me a bit.

But that was yesterday.

Today I’m sure that I love you.

Really.

You were lying.

I swear.

You’ll regret it.

Lídia!

Oh, sorry.

Celso’s arrival did me so much good.

Nothing like having a man to make life happy.

Or miserable.

Is something wrong, Mrs. Elza?

Plenty.

Men are such beasts.

So reckless.

But we’re always dependent on them.

Yes, but I’m not going back to being poor.

Not even dead.

Poverty is terrible.

Yes, that’s true.

I used to be poor.

Poor and mistreated.

But later...

No way am I losing my comfort now.

Mama wasn’t born to suffer.

But having a goal in life is important, too.

Like being rich.

Every woman wants to be rich.

Every one.

Cida, don’t forget to stop by Hugo’s shop.

Don’t forget, okay?

Don’t worry, Lídia.

Cida is a good worker.

And a good slut.

What did you just say?

What you heard.

Only a good slut throws herself at other people’s husbands.

- It’s not my fault your ex-husband— - Not me.

We’re still married.

- Married. - Look here.

It’s not my fault if he ran off after you wore him down.

Like a tramp.

Look here, Mrs. Elza.

Cida, shut up, Cida.

Cida, be quiet.

Cida, shut up.

Olavo! Olavo!

Calm down, Luci. Calm down.

She must’ve gone for a walk.

Where’s your son?

I don’t know. He’s probably around somewhere. I haven’t seen him yet.

Oh my God, he’s kidnapped Ester.

Look, imagine.

He might want to hurt my daughter to make her lose the baby.

Even kill her.

Listen here, lady, you should know my son’s no killer, okay?

My son’s a decent guy, alright?

And just because of your daughter’s recklessness, doesn’t mean my Zeca would do something crazy. Got it?

Understand?

Calm down, calm down, calm down.

- This argument won’t solve anything. - Not at all.

Let’s go look for them.

Yeah, let’s go.

Where?

I don’t want to be counted as an insult.

But that’s no shame nowadays.

I know.

It’s easy for men to talk.

But going around with a big belly and everyone asking about the father...

But I’m not refusing to take responsibility for this child.

It just won’t be by my side.

I could’ve even married someone else.

So, what now?

Love, marriage is a different thing.

You could also come to like someone else.

Who’s going to want to marry a woman who already has a child from someone else?

Besides, I like you.

I adore you too, but...

But?

I think it’s too soon to get married.

We barely know each other.

But we love each other.

And that’s what matters most.

We love and want each other.

Right?

Then the rest will come naturally.

Oh, Zeca, I need you.

Don’t abandon me.

Or the fruit of our love.

I won’t allow him to be in love with another woman.

But, Elza, that’s his right.

After all, you two separated.

It doesn’t matter.

I won’t allow that woman to get her hands on his money.

I thought you were interested in winning your ex-husband back.

And not in his money.

I want Danilo back the way he is.

You know?

I don’t like being rejected.

And I’m terrified of getting old.

I know I was stupid.

Or rather, careless.

I should’ve been more careful with my affairs.

But I don’t have the patience to go back to work.

Once you’re used to wealth, it’s very hard to go back.

But you need to calm down.

Look, for a woman to have the man she loves, she can’t lose control like this.

Listen.

Let’s sit here, get some sun.

Get these thoughts out of your head.

No, no. I’m going back to the hotel.

You’ve been very helpful. Thank you.

- See you later. - Bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Don’t you remember me?

Sorry, I don’t remember you.

Have we met at a studio before?

No, we’ve never crossed paths at a studio.

Though it could have happened.

Oh, so you work in film?

Let’s say I provide services to film people.

But I hate today’s movies.

Especially domestic ones.

They’re erotic and prejudiced.

Erotic and prejudiced?

Yeah, because only perfect, good-looking people don’t... Why?

Who knows?

Why not others?

Look, I don’t know why.

But since you won’t tell me where you know me from...

I’m leaving; it’s getting cold, okay?

Almer’s Line can’t remember just anyone.

She’s always tripping over her movies.

And in real life too.

Then... then... then she feels guilty.

Are you the man from...

Exactly.

Scream, and I’ll kill you.

Let’s go.

Let me go, or I’ll scream!

Try it and see.

No!

With my father’s influence, you’re going to work in Brazil.

But I don’t care much about my office life.

But you would. Then you’d find something else.

Let’s go!

These abandoned houses...

are becoming love nests.

I hope they are happy, like we are.

I’ll catch you!

I’ll catch you!

There!

Why?

Why what?

All this!

Because you’re a woman who humiliates.

And drives people mad.

Imagine that!

I’ve always treated everyone well.

Are you sure?

Guess certain people do have short memories.

I tried to approach you nicely.

But you snubbed me.

Me?

You really don’t remember.

I spent days at your apartment doing renovations.

I did plumbing and electrical work.

I was happy because I knew and admired you from movies.

And you were always at ease.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, what a headache.

Headache first thing in the morning? That’s not good.

But also, your life as an actress is very hard.

It’s all about going to bed late, waking up early.

Actresses go to a lot of parties, don't they?

That’s just what people think.

Is there much left to finish?

No, no. It'll be ready by Thursday.

I hope so.

Hello, Neila.

Everything alright?

Yeah, Raul and I hooked up.

I thought you acted like that just to hurt me.

To provoke me, like you do in your movies.

The phone calls were always the same.

The meetings, the dating, the hookups. Yeah.

Not very discreet, were you, Neila?

Just fooling around.

But you know, even with all your messing around, I wanted you like crazy.

But you didn’t even look my way.

- Yeah. - The only thing to do was to keep working.

You’re not easy, you know that?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Looking good!

Have you been waiting long?

Came down at eight.

You know, Mr...

Rogério.

Tomorrow I'll give you a copy of the key, so I can sleep peacefully, alright?

Alright.

Oh, that look… and try to work without making noise.

Yes, ma’am.

The shower is ready, isn’t it?

Yes, it is.

Alright.

I started to feel hopeful.

The next day, I arrived earlier.

I was dying to see you.

I thought no one was there.

Or that you might be alone.

I couldn’t resist.

I went to your room.

But Jairo, please try to understand me.

Oh, I only think one thing.

That by doing so many erotic films,

you ended up becoming a whore.

Sorry, I didn’t mean that.

You never change.

Wait, please.

Listen, try to understand.

I love you.

I’m so anxious.

Is it always going to be this way, trying to justify your mistakes?

With me?

No.

Goodbye.

Enjoy yourself.

Commit yourself.

Cure yourself.

Look.

Don’t cry.

It’s nonsense.

Your face is...

so beautiful, it shouldn’t be wet with tears.

Get your face away from me, you pig.

What do you think you're doing, huh?

Don’t you see yourself?

You insolent little man.

You know what?

Let’s settle this.

Because in five minutes, I want you out of here, understand?

Sorry.

Ma’am, you’re not understanding me.

I just wanted to...

Enough. I don’t care.

And I didn’t ask for your opinion.

Alright, okay?

Okay.

It was an unexpected blow.

It messed with my head.

I couldn’t understand.

I tried to be friendly, and...

The more I tried to forget that humiliation,

the more the memory grew.

At the same time, I couldn’t do anything else.

Not even have fun.

It was too much.

Let me go, please!

I had to do something.

That’s when I started making calls.

I was thrilled when I realized it irritated you.

But that wasn’t enough.

I decided that you had to be mine.

I spent nights watching you, waiting for the right moment.

Luckily, I was prepared for the trip.

Please, understand! I had problems back then.

It’s been so long.

I was so, so stupid with you!

But I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown!

I got help, I went to therapy.

Therapy was useless!

You’re still the same.

Today, you didn’t even recognize me.

- You brushed me off. - I haven’t forgotten the accident.

I didn’t remember your face.

Who knows, maybe it’s some kind of block!

Don’t give me that, babe!

Now, the filthy,

disgusting, horrible guy

is going to have you!

No!

No, please!

You've shown yourself to so many.

I’ll scream!

Scream, and I’ll kill you!

No, please!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

And if you don’t like the hotel, even better.

There, besides helping you find a good job that allows you to study.

I’ll start a business where you can join as a partner without any capital.

A partner with no capital?

Yeah, because you’ll be my daughter’s husband.

Isn’t that great?

Yes, but…

Listen, young lady, are you sure you haven’t been sneaking around?

Mrs. Lídia!

What’s the big deal? It’s so common.

No, Mrs. Lídia. This baby is ours. He’s your grandson.

That’s why they need to get married.

They’re just kids.

We love each other.

That alone isn’t enough, my dear.

He needs to acknowledge his responsibility as the father.

But marriage, now?

You could live together first, to gain some experience, some real-life practice.

Listen here, Mrs. Lídia.

She’s a respectable young woman.

And are you saying my son isn’t respectable…?

What’s that supposed to mean, Mrs. Lídia?

No, that’s not what I meant.

I want you to understand that I don’t want my daughter to become a single mother.

Or be branded as dishonorable by society.

Luci!

Luci, everything’s settled.

Zeca is coming to São Paulo with us.

- Is that what you want, son? - It’s great!

I think so, Mom.

My son…

My son…

Congratulations.

How wonderful!

Congratulations, girl. You did it.

But God sees all.

Well…

I’ll get the champagne.

- Great! Great! - Things are going very well in São Paulo.

We’re part of high society now.

- Danilo, I lost control. - That’s your problem.

You’re always losing control. Over everything.

I couldn’t stay quiet. We were with that woman.

But we’re not married anymore.

And last night?

I had a relapse.

Forget it, Elza.

Our marriage is over.

You used to love me so much.

I used to.

But now, I can’t stand people who live off alcohol.

Have some strength, my son.

Listen…

I’ve always liked having someone to rely on.

To have a woman by my side.

And when I thought my chances were over, Cida came along.

Her simplicity brought me back to life.

And I, do I just die here?

If you want to, drink yourself to death.

Can I sit down?

You’re already seated.

Can we drown our sorrows together?

We can.

As long as you buy me one more drink.

Because I’m...

You’re broke.

Broke.

I'm...

I'm screwed and underpaid.

What? What did you say?

Nothing. Nothing.

I’m feeling abandoned.

Was that man your husband?

He was. But he didn’t take care of his wife properly?

She cheated on him.

Of course. Of course.

I don’t really get that.

A husband shouldn’t travel and leave a beautiful woman like you behind.

I travel a lot too.

But internationally.

Europe. The United States.

For pleasure?

No. For business.

I export a lot with my two industries.

Two?

Yes.

One in fishing and the other…

accordions.

And you’re not married?

I was.

Twice.

And both times, I was cheated on.

And since they say bad things come in threes…

Nonsense.

You just haven’t found your soulmate.

A woman who has affinities with you.

And we do.

Hi, Mrs. Lídia.

Do you know where Cida is?

She’s in the kitchen.

Is something wrong?

No.

It’s my son.

What’s wrong?

Well, that’s great.

I mean, it could be great.

Yeah.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

What can I do?

Yeah.

If he wanted it that way, so be it.

I’ll go inside and get some champagne.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Lídia.

Hi, Celso.

Didn’t Eliana go with you?

No, why?

She didn’t leave here, and I haven’t seen her for hours.

That’s odd. I said I was coming.

I found it strange too.

Hey, Mom, did Dad come or not?

He’s coming.

Did you see Eliana?

I didn’t see her.

Did you see her?

Oh, that actress?

She was in the woods with that guy.

Yes, it’s true. She was drunk.

Drunk?

Drunk.

But doesn’t she drink.

Let’s go.

Look, I know I was stupid with you,

but it’s been a long time.

I was going through a rough patch back then, but maybe we can be friends.

Don’t lie.

It’s true.

Damn, don’t you see we’re in different worlds now?

- Just because you’re poor? - Yes.

Besides...

Besides, your life,

the films you make,

they’re harmful to people.

You’re a demon.

Let’s go.

You came here to make me smell that stuff, you want to kill me!

You piece of crap!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

He kidnapped me!

He’s the guy from the calls!

It was terrifying!

Over there.

There he goes.

Let me go.

Let’s stop him.

He wasn’t stopping, man.

Stay here.

Yeah, it’s been pretty rough these past few days.

Eliana, poor thing, must be really traumatized.

Yeah, it was quite a scare.

She could only sleep with a sedative.

But tomorrow on set, she’ll forget everything.

Let’s hope so.

All I’m saying is, from tomorrow onward...

each of us will be on a different path.

Different.

We each lost something...

but gained something else.

Goodbye, Mom.

Goodbye.
