Beatriz Ribeiro inherited her parents' talent for acting, but succumbs to the public scrutiny of her divorce. When she discovers that her mother, Rita, is addicted to cocaine, the young and popular actress decides to abandon her passion and try for an ordinary life. Bad company and a desire to understand her mother’s fascination with drugs lead Beatriz to spiral into her own ruin.
