17-year-old Sofia is the captain of a queer volleyball team in São Paulo. Just as she is about to receive a scholarship and university place, the protagonist of this tender and unsettling drama discovers she is pregnant. She receives hesitant approval from her father as well as immediate and unconditional support from her partner and teammates. However, the government seeks to prevent abortions by enacting strict laws. And Christian extremists who share the same goal believe that all means are justified.
