Brazil, 1980s.
Frederico is eighteen. He plays piano in hotel lounges to survive and lives as if the world might end tomorrow: intense friendships, illegal races, endless nights, dreams too big for a small mountain town.
Then Camila appears.
With her, everything changes.
Time seems to slow down.
The future - at last - feels possible.
But life never follows the plans of eighteen-year-olds.
Between passion, rebellion, and sudden tragedy, that generation will learn too early that growing up means losing something along the way.
A friend who doesn't make it.
Another who loses himself.
A love that crosses oceans and destinies.
And when everything begins to fall apart, only one question remains:
how do you start living again after losing everything?
A powerful and deeply human novel about youth, love, and that fragile, unrepeatable moment when life truly begins.
Because some loves end.
But certain encounters change the way we see the world forever.
