A girl takes refuge in the silence of her room. It's Monday morning and the family routine begins with its usual noise: the alarm clock, her mother's rush, the walk to school. However, for Nayara, the world has stopped. Her cell phone lies turned off, “dead,” hidden at the bottom of a drawer, just as she tries to hide from reality after what happened last Friday. Just a few days earlier, Nayara believed she was living a dream with Enzo, blindly trusting his words and promises. But the betrayal in the bathrooms of the Labyrinth Park has turned that dream into a nightmare from which she does not know how to wake up.
