Young housewife Helena is on the verge of fulfilling a dream as she prepares to open her own grocery store. She hires a maid, Paula, to take care of her house and daughter. But when her husband Otávio is suddenly fired from his job, Helena is left to support the family alone. As Otávio fails to find work and her business struggles to take off, the pressure on Helena mounts. To make things worse, she discovers that one of the building's brick walls seems to be crumbling. Helena begins to wonder if that may be the cause of all her problems.
