[edit]

When Donato, a lifeguard at Praia do Futuro, fails to rescue a drowning German tourist, he feels the tourist's death was his fault and begins a journey to escape from his present self. Donato leaves for Berlin in search of his German lover, Konrad, whom he had met ten years earlier at Praia do Futuro and saved from drowning. Whenever he drifts away, his younger brother, Ayrton, brings him back.[4]
