Synopsis
Simao, a violent adolescent, spends his days getting into fights. From a rich and highly eccentric Portuguese family, the rebellious teenager's only confidant is his twelve year old sister Rita. One day, she shows him a video of a volley-ball match at her school and Simao takes notice of Teresa, a mysterious young woman everyone thinks is crazy. He is immediately fascinated by her. Soon, he finds out her address and even obtains her mobile number. As they talk on the phone, Teresa and Simao fall in love. Through this new emotional connection, Simao begins to change. He becomes calmer, rather taciturn, almost ceasing to talk to his sister Rita, and spends his time reading Camilo Castelo Branco's "Amor de perdiçao." Unfortunately, a professional dispute between his father and Teresa's dooms their relationship, giving Simao a whole new set of reasons for rebellion.
