Luísa, 23, begins to question her boyfriend Rui’s sexuality after discovering a condom wrapper and noticing his odd behavior. Kyle, 25, returns to Portugal and reconnects with Pedro, who comes out as non-binary. Júlia, 23, gains the courage to tell her girlfriend Rosa, 21, that she has begun her gender transition. Margarida, 19, meets Inês at the party and starts to question her relationship with her boyfriend Afonso, 21, ultimately coming out as bisexual. Vicente, 20, is diagnosed with HIV and, with Inês’s support, goes through the five stages of grief over the course of the night. Through intimate moments and quiet revelations, each character confronts identity, love, and acceptance.

During the student crisis of 1968, Ines, an 18-year-old homosexual, is prevented from attending law school by her family, who believe that this is not the right course for a woman. This awakens in Inês a feeling of injustice, which leads her to accept Julio's invitation to join the high school students' association. The next day, we find out that the student association has been closed since they found a copy of the clandestine newspaper "Avante!" on the premises. The rectory then decides to expel suspicious students, starting a revolt in the high school and an ideological confrontation between the couple of Inês and Adelaide.
