In Porto Alegre, the unemployed Ciro has a dull life in a simple apartment with a nameless stray dog that he had found on the streets. Ciro is supported by his parents and works every now and then in translation of Russian. When he meets the aspiring actress Marcela, who dreams on traveling to other places, they immediately fall in love for each other. However, Marcela has a lymphoma and travels for a treatment, and alone Marcelo becomes depressed and returns to his parents home.
"Adaptation of the book 'Until the Day the Dog Died' by Daniel Galera. With good dialogue and performances, it's an interesting movie about relationships and life dissatisfactions. The feature film starts slow but picks up pace and explores the main couple, Ciro and Marcela, very well."
