Former prostitute Maria restricts artistic teenage sister Catarina's freedom. Catarina pursues forbidden relationship from dance class against Maria's wishes. Sisters' dynamics, Catarina's quest for love and independence drive the plot.

Maria has worked as a prostitute since her mother died 15 years ago. Her younger sister Catarina is now a shy 17-year old, devoted to art and music, and the lover of her elder sibling, who allows her to leave the apartment only to attend dance class. But when Catarina meets a man there, another forbidden love blossoms.—Sujit R. Varma
