In 1934 two supposed brothers survived an avalanche in the Himalayas: the millionaire Franz Hauser (Bruno Gagliasso), who is saved by Buddhist monks, and Manfred (Carmo Dalla Vecchia), rescued by a team of climbers. Manfred returns to Brazil with a terrible secret: he sabotaged Franz’s equipment in order to take his place in the family business. After an exhaustive search, Ernest Hauser gives his son up for dead and appoints his bastard son as the director of the Hauser Group.

Téo, a solitary medical student burdened by the care of his paraplegic mother, becomes infatuated with Clarice, an aspiring screenwriter he meets at a barbecue. When she rejects his advances, he resorts to an extreme measure: drugging and kidnapping her. He forces Clarice—sedated and trapped as his passenger—on a road trip through the very locations she scripted in her screenplay, attempting to awaken her love through repetition and manipulation.
