With a narrative design structured in three parts, each of them about the protagonist's relationship with a different woman, this film is a chronicle about love, death and urban melancholy. Raul is a fifty-year-old unemployed alcoholic man whose sole hope is his passionate love for Ligia, who has been his partner during his past years of wild life. When she leaves him, he seeks booze more vigorously, contracts tuberculosis and amidst health centers and transitory jobs, he builds a sweet relationship with Cassia, a sixteen-year-old girl. When his body and mind are already very much corroded by the disease, Inês appear in his life. She is the saddest woman he has ever met. A corpse that happened to end up in the boarding house where he lives through his friend Tomás. They take Inês to Janga beach in Olinda. This trip makes an unexpected affection grow between Raul and the "sad woman", who will be thrown into the sea.
