Afonso and Clara have a codependent relationship that intensified with the beginning of her anorexia. In his new life, Afonso begins to look for his place in the world, set apart from his role of caregiver, but isolation and loneliness soon affect him. While Afonso fights against his co-dependency with Clara, he experiences new sensations that make him consider the difficult idea of separating from his sister to be happy.
