Synopsis

At first it's noise, desperation and abuse. Mariana wants to get out of the hell. She reaches out to a half-dead man: Leao. Mariana, full of life, thinks that maybe they can escape from hell together. She believes that she can take the dead man to the world of the living. Seven days and nights later, she realises that she was wrong... She has brought a living man to the world of the dead.
