The opulent silence of the mansion is shattered by the clink of glass. In the dimly lit living room, João, a towering figure of fame and failure, slumps on the couch, bottle in hand. 'My life ended when my wife died,' he murmurs to his scolding grandmother. Nearby, the grandfather pleads, 'She needs you.' João sighs, 'I'm a failed father,' unaware that in the adjacent room, his thirteen-year-old daughter, isolated behind headphones and glasses, remains untouched by the family drama, playing on her phone in lonely quiet.
