Rio de Janeiro. Manu, a hip teenager of 13, is going through the pangs of growing up and trying to survive the guarded life of a State Governor’s daughter, and of living with the father’s new wife and their twin sons, after the death of her own mother. A change in the justice system of Brazil has transformed the destiny of corrupt politicians. Her father, a beloved governor, a “pacifier” of the broken city of Rio de Janeiro, the son of progressive journalists, is in fact a criminal who has stolen billions of dollars and is arrested together with his main accomplice, his present wife. Manu’s life is completely taken apart. She is separated from her brothers and everything she owns is taken away from her. We follow Manu’s voyage of realization of life around her, as she gets to cross the class abyss – one she has never even been conscious existed - and moves to the house of the woman who in fact brought her up, her nanny Deia, in Rio’s favela, after her grandfather is taken to the hospital. A film that tells the story of the unbelievable corruption of the Brazilian political system, through the eyes of a teenager, who realizes that the world she believes to be growing up in is a fiction that can suffer a total collapse and uncover the hard tough reality of life in one of the most unjust societies of the planet.
