On a rainy day a woman and her husband are at home. The woman is packing to leave the man. She is unable to go due to the weather. They stay together in a quiet tension as a storm rages outside.

As an architect drives his woman, who is a publisher, to the airport, he tells her he intends to move to her place and have his office in her basement to save money. She, however, tells him she is leaving him because she has met another man. They are surprised by a storm and they stay trapped in her apartment. They find a cat in a hole in front of the apartment and the man rescues it. Soon their neighbors arrive looking for the cat, but it is hidden. Meanwhile, they prepare dinner together.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
