Maria has finished her medical course and is going to celebrate with a proper party. Her life starts now. Her real life.
“Real life”… what a cliché. What were you born for? What does the future hold for you? What’s the harm in having ambitions?
College buddies, ex-boyfriends, female friends, pet hates — they all cross paths before and after Maria’s party, looking for that special someone, looking for themselves, looking for the right path. In a disposable world of consumerist stimuli, who knows what is right or wrong?
Maria terminou o curso de Medicina e vai dar uma festa. A partir de agora, começa a vida a sério.
“A vida a sério”… que cliché. Tu nasceste para quê? O que reserva o futuro para ti? Qual é o mal de ter ambições?
Colegas de faculdade, ex-namorados, amigas, ódios de estimação — todos se cruzam antes e depois da festa, à procura de alguém especial, à procura de si próprios, em busca do caminho certo para a sua vida. Num mundo descartável e repleto de estímulos consumistas, quem sabe o que é certo ou errado?
