In this involving Brazilian odyssey, two inseparable sisters growing up in 1950s Rio de Janeiro face stifling patriarchal expectations but risk harsh consequences if they show defiance.

Guida is headstrong and revels in her sexuality; Euridice strives to become a pianist with the dream of winning a place at the Vienna conservatoire. Exploring family and friendship, love, loyalty and betrayal, this multi award-winner adapted from a novel by Martha Batalha offers an absorbingly feisty narrative.
