Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
Nadia (a singer) and Joao Oliveira Santana (a police captain) were a married couple in Brazil. In the 1980s while Nadia was expecting their son, Odair, Joao beat her and she lost her hearing. Nadia had an affair with fellow singer Angelo and they had a child Celeste, born 1987. Joao had an affair with Angelo's sister, Eva, conceiving a child, Ima, in 1997. In December of that year, while Nadia was hospitalized in a coma from Joao's violence, a black-eyed and very pregnant Eva murdered Joao, as young Odair looked on in fear. *** During her 20-year sentence, Eva gave birth to Ima and fell in love with fellow inmate Milene, a con artist who was innocently imprisoned. After Nadia recovered from her coma she disappeared as a housebound recluse. Odair looked after her, and got a job as a police officer. *** Most of the film is set in 2017. Odair pulls over a singer, Teylor (one of Celeste's two suitors), for speeding. Later he follows Teylor to the Paraiso Perdido nightclub and happens to protect Ima from attackers. Jose, the father of Eva and Angelo, asks Odair to take a night job protecting Ima. Odair notices his mother's picture posted prominently in Angelo's dressing room. After Eva is released from prison, Odair begins a relationship with her and helps Milene to get out of prison as well; they form a thruple. Ima forms a relationship with a teacher, Pedro. Odair learns from a colleague that Eva killed his father, and he sets up a reunion of Nadia and Angelo.
