Spoilers ahead
In the 1970s Rio de Janeiro, the district of Barra da Tijuca is painted as a kind of promised land, where a luxury project whispers of a brighter future. At the heart of this dream stands the Paradise Condominium, a gleaming vision meant to rise around the building marked as number 808. The project is spearheaded by the contractor of Dr. Sabóia José Wilker, a figure whose ambition helps drive the fragile promise forward. His son Otávio [Miguel Falabella] shares the stage with a wide-eyed child named Celio [Pedro Cardoso], who is instantly hooked by the sleek model of the development presented by Otávio, and who watches, wide-eyed, as the future seems to unfold in miniature before him.
