São Paulo, 1984. Agostinho, a decadent physics teacher, is married to Januária and teaches at a night high school for adults. He falls in love with his student Márcia, an unstable young woman who is a drug addict and is HIV positive. Divided between the family routine and his affair with Márcia, Agostinho risks it all, and in a mix of passion and insanity, he purposely contaminates himself with HIV. Surprisingly Agostinho will benefit from Januária’s understanding and compassion.
