Lígia, Leona Cavalli, is a barmaid trapped in a grueling routine, forced to repeatedly turn down the crude propositions of the bar’s nightly clientele. The grind wears on her as she longs for something beyond the endless circle of shifts and small, unsatisfying interactions.
In the Texas Hotel, Dunga, Matheus Nachtergaele, a gay handyman, moves through the same city with his own quiet longing. He is drawn to Wellington, a butcher who brings meat to the hotel. Wellington, Chico Diaz, is married to Kika, Dira Paes, a woman who takes pride in her evangelical faith, yet his infidelity complicates the fragile balance of their marriage. Wellington cheats on his wife with a woman named Dayse, a secret that Dayse herself eventually tires of keeping.
