Summaries

A jazz singer and a British jewel thief are brought together by their mutual desire to forget the past.

Valentin is a criminal mastermind, but his exploits don't prove much in the way of satisfaction. Thus, he sets out on a one-man sailing trip around the world in a last attempt at finding meaning in his life. Meanwhile, in Morocco, a burned-out jazz singer named Jane is trying to forget a fizzled love affair. And so begins the journey of these two lost souls who are destined to cross paths.—Sujit R. Varma

The smart and bold jewel thief Valentin Valentin decides to leave his mate and travel around the world for one hundred days in a sailing boat. In the coast of Morocco, he has an amnesia problem and comes onshore looking for a doctor. Meanwhile, the piano-bar singer Jane Lester is brokenhearted when her lover leaves her for her best friend, and she decides to accept a job in Morocco to forget the past. An incident in the hotel where they are lodged joins them and they fall for each other.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
