See the most agreed on films →In 1950s Rio de Janeiro, two devoted sisters, Eurídice and Guida, are separated by their father's strict moral code after a romantic disappointment. Guida is sent away, and each sister is told the other has moved on with her life. They spend decades living in the same city, unaware of each other's proximity, each building her own life while clinging to the hope of a reunion. Their story is a poignant tale of familial bonds, sacrifice, and the invisible threads that connect them despite a cruel fate.
