One apartment. Four sisters. A lifetime of baggage.

After years apart, four women return to the family flat in Copacabana — not just to divide what’s been left behind, but to confront what they’ve each become. One is fiercely intellectual, another a romantic who fled to Paris.

There are revelations. And somewhere in all the chaos, there’s the fragile, unspoken bond of sisterhood that refuses to fade.
