If Nothing Else Works Out

2006. Leo (Caua Reymond) is a freelance journalist covering events for newspaper outside Sao Paulo, the city where he lives. He is in serious financial problems worsened due to payment delays. Angela (Luiza Mariani) shares the apartment with Leo and has a 6 year old boy, who is practically raised by their maid, who hardly gets paid. Depressive, she spends most of the day in bed, leaving the house at night in search of fun on decadent clubs. On a given night, Leo decides to spend the little money they have and, by chance, finds Angela, at the mercy of Sybelle (Milhem Cortaz), a transvestite with connections on the underground. She introduces him to Marcin (Caroline Abras), who dresses as a man but has woman grimaces. Soon, they become friends and decide to drink, along with Wilson (Joao Miguel), a taxi driver who believes to be in need of a psychiatrist. Gradually, an awkward yet strong emotional bond emerges among them, especially increased when they decide to play a highly rewarding, bu dangerous confidence game.
