A story about the need for tolerance through a metaphor of life - a blind man can finally see but refuses to see the world around him. A story involving a love that disappears because of the lack of understanding one another. A friendship that goes beyond all the difficulties that arise along the way. Emotion through simple situations, recognizable people, that we can find in any city in the world. A blind pizzaiolo, of Italian descent, an Argentine, from a wealthy Jewish family and a friend, the waiter, who becomes the 'eyes of the pizzaiolo.' Within this familiar environment, the story told is about the lack of understanding that exists in our world today. This is not a typical Brazilian story or from a specific place, it is a story of our time about individualism, about respect for what the other desires.

A man and a woman relive moments of their lives transfigured on the landscape of a beach. Past, present and future merge in the cadence of the waters, which come and go revolving memories and old silences. So the characters go through a sort of trail of desire, leading the edge of the abyss of themselves, where all days born and die, the horizon of all passes, all eventides.
