In the heart of Rio de Janeiro, Maria da Graça (Léa Garcia), the devoted and hardworking mother of Pedro (Vinícius Patrício) lives in the highest and isolated spot of the Pedacinho do Céu favela, who works hard to maintain her son's studies. He, in turn, eagerly awaits the outcome of the college entrance examination and an eventual scholarship. In the context of a competitive and unequal society, Peter's failure can definitely seal his fate, but a victory and overcoming can also take its toll.
