SYNOPSIS

Nara and Tayra grew up in Guaxuma, a beach in the north east of Brazil, but as a teenager Nara had to leave this place of freedom. After an unexpected shattering event, Nara returns to Guaxuma but she doesn’t recognize the virgin paradise of her childhood anymore. Is it the beach that has changed or Nara herself?
