Aninha, future poet and candy maker Cora Coralina, is a fragile and clumsy girl. She finds in the game of hopscotch a way to overcome her own limits and, in her imagination, an escape from the environment in which she lives. His childhood, marked by rejection, is remembered in his adult life for his affective and tragic connection with the blue pigeon dish, the last of a ninety-two-piece collection, by his great-grandmother Antônia.
