Amidst a cold and oppressive prison, Larissa witnessed the bleak reality of innocent women behind bars, serving sentences for love, carelessness, and trustworthiness. Quality of life was nearly nonexistent, with poor food and limited space that seemed to impose a spiritual punishment. Her tireless struggle as a single mother, facing poverty and disillusionments, led her to make difficult decisions for the sake of her troubled son, Gustavo.
Difficulties did not cease, and when Larissa was finally released after eight long years, her reunion with her son was not as she had expected. At her doorstep, she found a cold and indifferent man, ready to reject her with disdain and contempt. Despite it all, her maternal love persisted as she was forced to leave behind the home that had once been her safe haven. In her journey for redemption and meaning, Larissa found herself supported by a generous and understanding friend, facing the harsh realities of life, questioning whether it was worth continuing to fight or surrendering to despair and the curses of a meaningless existence.
