A disillusioned young woman’s dreary life takes a surprising turn when a long-lost locket exposes family secrets, in this Brazilian dramedy brimming with warmth and whimsy. Jessica (Thati Lopes), laden by obligations, works at an antiques shop and has little time for herself. One day, she finds a locket identical to the one left by her late mother. Intrigued by its mysterious origins, she teams up with Gabriel (Rodrigo Simas), magnetic yet inscrutable, who might—or might not—be her cousin, to trace the locket’s history. They journey to Israel where they encounter comedic missteps, chance revelations, generations-old family stories, and ultimately reconnection with long-lost relatives.
What starts as a simple search for answers blooms into an earnest exploration of identity, love, and belonging. Among Israel’s vibrant streets and historic landmarks, Jessica finds more than she ever expected: a deeper understanding of her heritage, a surprising romantic encounter, and a renewed sense of purpose. Gabriel, too, finds his outlook altered as they embrace life’s twists and turns.
Blending humor with poignancy, this life-affirming road movie celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the serendipitous ways family and love shape our lives. Featuring standout performances by a charming ensemble cast, this vibrant tale captures the universal quest to reconcile with the past while forging a hopeful future—and discovering fulfillment and happiness that complete one’s life.
