    • Synopsis
    • Inês runs away from home and from her mother to look for her brother, Rafael, whom she doesn't see since their father died. He is an ex-surf champion who everyday gets inside the dangerous waves to test the limits of his life. More concerned with boyfriends and learning how to surf than with God, is disquieted to learn that her brother Rafael has been living as a monk, and not bumming around Australia as she has believed. One day, Rafael is gone. But Inês is not willing to lose him once again.
