Synopsis[]
After six years without seeing each other (and three years since their last group chat on social media), friends Benê, Keyla, Tina, Lica and Ellen are reunited in the Greater São Paulo and realize that the affection and admiration they feel for each other has never been lost, even after so long apart. At the height of being 25 year olds, they are all grappling with personal, professional and relationship conflicts. Together, they feel stronger to face the dilemmas of adult life common to Generation Z.
Cast and characters[]
Main[]
Cool and sociable, Tina is a DJ of the biggest ballads in São Paulo with her boyfriend Anderson ( ). Tina will have a tough job dealing with the loss of her mother without having time to settle disputes between them. As a first reaction, she will play at night and in all her attempts.
as Cristina "Tina" Yamada:- Gabriela Medvedovski as Keyla Maria Romano:
Keyla raises her son Tonico ( ) alone and is always on edge with everything she needs to handle. She was forced to postpone her dreams to ensure her son's survival. From the reunion with her friends she will try to remake her wishes and invest in her career as a musical actress.
Extremely methodical, Benê tries to remain calm, but she can't stand it when things get out of hand and get out of routine. She spent the last few years studying classical music. She lives with Guto ( ), her boyfriend since school, until a twist separates them and she finds Nem ( ).
as Benedita "Benê" Teixeira Ramos:
Explosive, ironic and somewhat boastful, Lica is full of ideas and desires, which often makes her look spoiled. Lica has already dropped out of three colleges, tried several personal projects, but didn't take any to the end. She is also completely lost in the love life since her relationship with Samantha ( ]]) ended.
as Heloísa "Lica" Gutierrez:
Because she is so career-focused, Ellen lives a little disconnected from the world of personal relationships. She was an excellent student in high school and her time at MIT in Boston was no different. She finished her degree and completed a master's degree in the United States. She dates Omar (), an American, but her visit to Brazil leaves her uncertain about the directions she had planned for her life. as Ellen Rodrigues:
