"When I have some free time, I enjoy looking at people... and thinking about the stories Intertwined around the world." "I remember a maid my parents had." "When she attempted suicide for the first time..." "I made a tourniquet and was able to stop her wrists from bleeding." "I saved her In two other occasions." "My name Is Antônia Maria dos Anjos." "I am a psychiatrist and a psychologist." "I am very Interested on the human beings." "But this story Is not about me." " Hi, CamiIo." " What's up?" "A toast." "To them." "You think I'II get someone today?" "You're going after the ladies tonight, right?" "Such a stupid question deserves no answer." " What's that?" " Some barley essence..." "My friend would Iike to know you better." "Couldn't it be you instead?" "I think you should give him a chance." "I always knew the fate of a ladies man Is dying from his own poison." "But I thought I was prepared for it." "May I?" "Okay." "Fine." "Wait." "Have a seat." "What do you want?" "To get to know you." " Are you sure?" " What's your doubt?" "What's that?" "If I ask you to do something, would you?" "Get me out of here." "Now." "This is beautiful." "Your place is beautiful." "I feel like home." "May I ask your name?" "You're going to play mystery woman now?" "AII right." "I Iike you." "Are those prescribed?" "No, they're not prescribed." "They were a gift." "A gift from fate." "Interesting." "You know what?" "I want to have sex." "I want to have sex all night long." "Intensely, profoundly... and definitely." "Are you always like that or is it just tonight?" "Does it matter?" "You're going to do everything I tell you to, you hear me?" "Wait a minute." "That's not how things are." "One step at a time." " Pussy cat." " Your mother is a pussy cat." "You hear me?" "I want you now." " Are you insane?" " Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut your mouth!" "Time's almost up!" "Quiet!" " Time for what?" " Time to live." "Time to live." "What are you talking about?" "Calm down..." "Stop that!" "Are you crazy?" "You're really hot, but I can't do it." "I'm leaving." "No, you're not." "Now, I want to come." "I want to come till it's over!" " What?" " The only thing left..." " ...is you." " Me?" "What are you talking about?" "It's over." "I'm not doing anything." "Hold on!" "Wait!" "Sit here!" " Sit here!" " Please, don't do anything crazy." " I told you to sit here." " AII right." "Calm down." "I am going to." "Calm down." "I'm sitting here." "I have a little gift for you too." " What's that?" " Now it's your turn." "Open your mouth." "Come on." "Open it!" "Now swallow it!" "swallow it!" "swallow it!" "swallow it!" "That... is the drug... of love." "Did you know even love has a cure?" "There's only one thing that has no cure." "What is that?" "I never believed In fate." "I'm an atheist." "I believe In fact." "CamIIo and I were friends from 6 to 18 years of age." "While I was at school, he was at the beach." "While I was In college, he was at the night clubs." "28 years old, two cardiac arrests and symptoms of overdose." "CamiIo!" "Another arrest." "The pads." "If fate brought my friend back Into my Iife... he wasn't the one who was going to save himself." "It was me." "And that..." "That's divine." "We'II have to intubate." "You're in." "Come on, CamiIo." "I won't let you die, you hear me?" " 36O." " Ready." "Hey, beautiful." "I always enjoyed waking up with make-up on." "Every woman should do that at Ieast once In a lifetime." "It chases away bad luck, it prepares you for the surprises of that day." "You never know what may happen." "PISCES" " Hi." " I think I know you." " How are you?" " Fine, Rita, and you?" "Just great." "Is he here?" " No asthma today?" " No." "Is that a problem?" " Of course not." "I'II page him." " Don't." "I'II find him myself." " Rita, you can't go in there." " You never saw me here." "Here, ViIeIIa." "It was ecstasy all right." "There was enough for 15 people in your friends stomach." "He was throwing a hell of a party." " How long would he have had?" " Because he also had alcohol..." "I believe he would have died in about 30 to 60 minutes, at most." " You think it was a suicide attempt?" " And what else?" "Or maybe he wanted to have sex for 3 months straight." "What are you doing here?" "Surprise..." "This is no place for surprises." "How did you get in here?" "I'm an old guest here, remember?" " Are you having any problems?" " No, you completely cured me." "But my horoscope said I had to go after my ideals." "Rita, hadn't I told you I was going to call you at lunch time?" "Yeah." "But the thing is I felt like... being your lunch." " I have to go." " No, don't go already." "Stay a little while." "My horoscope said..." "I told you this horoscope stuff is a total scam." "The predictions are all ready, and they pick them up randomly." "If you take a better look, they repeat them some times." "We have to know if the sign of our lover matches our sign." "Some of the stars we see on the sky today are already dead." "You want to base your life decisions on dead stars?" "It's romantic, though." "An eternal flame, just like love." " What matters is that it works." " And if it doesn't?" "Then I forget it." "well, maybe I really am an insecure girl." "I need you, my hero." "Don't leave me here, in this castle's tower!" "There are so many dangers out there!" "Don't be silly." "The board of the hospital is going to change." "I'm likely to be made director, you know that." "As soon as I get the promotion, we'II get married." "Isn't that beautiful?" "We couldn't talk more because he had to see some patients." "That's his job, isn't it?" "I'm afraid he's going to leave me." "He just said he's going to marry you." "Why would he leave you?" "I think I'II see a palm reader." "PALM READER YOUR FATE IN YOUR HANDS Have you seen the one next door?" "Why would you see a palm reader?" "There's no reason why." "After all, I'm getting married, right?" "I'II never sleep alone again." "No patient of his will get in my way." "This is Simone, CamiIo's mother." "This is Dr. Antônia... that doctor I told you about." "Are you going to heal my son?" "That depends." "I'm going to get to know him and then try to help him." "That, if he wants to be helped." "It's good to come back home, isn't it?" "You should be thankful." "Geez!" "Is this instantaneous noodles?" "Honey, you managed to screw that up?" "What's the number for that pizza place?" "I'd Iike to give you something." "You know I'm conservative." "will you marry me?" " My God, it's beautiful!" " will you?" "silly, go get the door." "It's so beautiful!" " CamiIo." " Hey, man." "How are you?" "I'm here to thank you for everything you've done." "Oh, please." "Come on in." "Come meet my fiancée." "This is Rita." "CamiIo." " Nice to meet you." " hello." "Man, I'm sorry." "I didn't you were..." " I'm leaving." " Come on." "Sit and eat with us." " CamiIo left the hospital yesterday." " Yeah, I know." " You don't have to..." " Come on, don't feel so awkward." "Rita, could you serve CamiIo?" "Sure." " Thank you." " Rita cooked it herself." "She's just about ready to get married." "Try it." "You like it?" "It's delicious." "Wouldn't like to sit down?" "No." "I'm fine here." " Why don't you talk about your life?" " My life?" "My life..." "My life couldn't be smoother, doctor." "What happened was an accident." "That's all I have to say." "Here it is, thank you." "Come back." "Bye." "Rita!" " You work here?" " CamiIo!" "What a coincidence." "Yes, I do." "You like thrift stores?" "Yes." "I don't visit them often, but I do." "I Iive around here." "Something here caught my attention, so..." "I didn't know much about them myself." "I started working here... and now I even make up some fancy story for every item." "People love that." "So, would you Iike to pick something for your girlfriend?" "I don't have a girlfriend." "I Iove this place." "Which one of these items is your favorite?" "I have many favorites." "This one, for instance, is Venus of Milo." "It was made in 2OO B.C." "I say she has no arms because she fell in love with the cupid." "So who hit the cupid with an arrow?" "Not her, for sure!" "In the old days, people would idealize love... dream about platonic romance... almost forbidden ones." "That's true." "It's not any easier these days." " What isn't?" " Forbidden love." "I have to go." "But... if I Iike something..." "I'II take it." "AII right then." "Bye." "Bye." "I met this guy." "He was a patient at the hospital." "He tried to kill himself." "Maybe you know him." "His name is..." "CamiIo." "He's ViIeIIa's friend." "Rita..." "I read something else in that sentence." "Or am I wrong?" "You're wrong." " I think I'm in trouble." " Again?" " Again." " Again." "But I guess this time I'm really screwed." "hello." "What's up, chief?" " May I help you?" " Hi..." "I'm just browsing." "Your name is Rita, isn't it?" "Yes." "I'm sorry." "How can I help you?" "actually, I'm looking for a piece from the... the 2OOth century." " 2OOth century?" " I'II describe it for you:" "the girl's naked, and she's handicapped." "She's got no arms." "I think you're talking about Venus of Milo." " Venus of where?" " Of Milo." " Where's that?" " To tell you the truth..." "I don't really know where Milo is." "You don't?" "AII right, then." "AII right, I'm taking it, then." "Here." "You can wrap it." "It's not that expensive." "R$ 5O.OO will do." "really?" "That's cool." "So... could you say on the receipt it was R$ 7O.OO?" "I'd Iike you to deliver it for me." "But it has to be you, no one else." "Here's the address." "I'm off." "It's okay." "It seems your friend knows a Iot about antiques." "He even asked me to overprice it on the receipt." "Sign here." "It's for you." "No..." "You can't do that to me." "I have to go." "So, Rita..." "Antônia, I don't feel like talking today." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah." "Everything's fine." "Did anything happened?" "No, nothing happened." " I'm leaving, then, all right?" " Rita... think carefully before you do anything, all right?" "AII right." "Rita." "I went to see a palm reader." "Do you believe in those things?" "Why?" "Should I?" "Antônia?" "How's CamiIo going?" "Like all beginners, he's not opening up, and that might be a problem." "especially if the patient has no family support... and does not consider his addiction a disease." "Excuse me." "ViIeIIa?" "!" " So, how are you doing?" " What a surprise." "Is everything okay?" "I was just thinking about you." "That's nice." "Won't you let me in?" "Is there anyone with you?" "With me?" "No." "Man, Iet's have a beer." "Let me just get a T-shirt." "Man, your place hasn't changed a bit." "It seems as if we're 10 again, looking through an adult magazine." " You remember?" " Sure." "Such a Iong time ago." "Let's go." "Hey, come on." "Great, you came right away." " Cheers." " Cheers." "tell me, CamiIo." "How has your life been?" "My life?" "I don't know." " Pretty normal." " You know, CamiIo... saving lives is part of my job, but, to be honest... it felt really good to see it was you." "You've always been good at everything." "Without trying to be modest, I know that." "What can I do?" "My life's great, man." "I have a nice car, a nice apartment... a hot girl who's going to marry me." "I have it all." "Now, tell me about you." "As my buddy Duda says:" "I'm not up for everything... but I'm up for every girl!" "Now, CamiIo, between the two of us." "You're practically my brother." "How could you get involved with drugs, man?" "Open your mouth." "Come on!" "Sometimes, we think we can do anything... and nothing will happen." "That's what it was." "CamiIo, my brother!" " So, did you fuck the girl?" " Duda..." "This is ViIeIIa, the doctor who took care of me." "What's up, chief?" "How's it going?" " tell me, did you fuck her or not?" " What are you talking about?" "Oh, come on." "Don't mind him." "He's a modest guy." "He never kisses and tells." " CamiIo's got a girlfriend?" " Would you believe she's married?" "And I'm involved too." "I went over to where she works..." "Get lost." "well, she is married." "AII right, forget it." "But the black cupid here did a good job, right?" "Not in a good mood, right?" "Okay, I'm leaving then." "Let's go, darling." "Let's leave the white ones talk in peace." "Doctor, it was a pleasure." "CamiIo..." "I want you to be my best man." "AII right, mom." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "tell dad I sent a kiss." "Yes, I can do it on my own." "No, I'm not going to do anything stupid." "AII right, then." "Bye." "Hi, Juju." "That's beautiful." "I have to go for a while, but, if you need me, just ring this bell." "I'II be back in a jiffy, okay?" "Bye." "That's her first way of communication since she arrived." "Social Work didn't find her family yet." "Rita?" "Rita, it's me, Antônia." "I'm calling to tell you I'II have to postpone our appointment." "I won't be able to leave the hospital." "talk to you later." "Kisses." "Bye-bye." "ViIeIIa?" "Antônia, that Rita you were talking to just now... is my Rita?" "Why didn't you tell me you were going through therapy?" " What do you mean?" " Antônia is your shrink." " That's right." "She is." " Why didn't you tell me?" " I didn't think I had to." " Why did you lie to me?" "Lower your voice." "This is my workplace." "I don't care!" "I got you this job." "ViIeIIa, I didn't lie to you." "I just didn't tell you." " Is there anything wrong with that?" " Listen to me... from now on, you're not seeing Antônia anymore, you got it?" " Hey, you don't own me!" " Why are you saying that?" "Are you spreading your wings now?" "You either stop seeing her... or we're going to have serious problems." "Then we are going to have serious problems." "What do you know about me that I don't?" "I don't know what you know about yourself." "Let's forget our differences." "I'II make it really clear:" "this situation really bothers me." "For an aspiring board director, you seem very insecure, ViIeIIa." "What did Rita tell you about me?" "That is so unethical." "Rita is not seeing you any longer, get it?" "I never intended to fool you." "I simply respected the doctor-patient relationship." "She was the one to tell you, don't you think?" "Rita is so naïve, poor thing." " She doesn't seem that naïve to me." " But she Is." "She left her town months ago, and she had asthma." "She was helpless." "If it wasn't for me, she'd be back to her parents' house by now." "I won't say anything." "If she wants to keep her emotional disaster..." "What are you talking about?" " It seems she's not the only one." " Listen to me, Antônia." "Do not defy me." "You know who you're dealing with, don't you?" "Of course I do." "Have you taken a Iot of pills, ViIeIIa?" "Excuse me." "Let's run away." "Run away to where?" "I don't know yet." "But I want to run away with you." "But how?" "Fuck it!" "Fuck it!" "It's going to be today." "I'II wait for you at the store." "Doesn't it feel great?" "What are you doing to me?" "One, two, three, four, five..." "He's not here." "So?" "Does this have a future or not?" " How can I know that?" " Let me tell you a secret." "He's not going to make it." "How do you know?" "CamiIo... is just like his father." "He'II never be able to be happy." "What happened to him?" "He disappeared, 15 years ago." "He loved me as if I were a princess." "He would use a flashlight to light up my heart." "You think you can control your fate?" "Have you asked your fate what it thinks about that?" "Thanks for coming after I called you." "Everything is so confusing I can't think straight!" "Calm down." "You don't have to decide anything right now." "Why don't you eat something?" "We will talk and maybe you'II get your thoughts straight." "After all, all you want from life is to get married." "Everybody gets married one day." "They get divorced too... but let's leave that to another appointment." " You cannot buy me." " I know." "But that's how I am." " You were really rude to me." " I apologize." "Come on, get your things." "I'm taking you to my flat." "This is a pigsty." " Too small." " We have larger ones, sir." "You really didn't like it." "Wow!" "Get me something better." "Honey, I have to go back to work." "I have to go back to the hospital too." "This is just the beginning." "I can't even imagine how it is going to end." " I couldn't make it." " I know that." "What if..." " In these..." " ViIeIIa took me to his place." " Why?" " We're getting married, remember?" "Why didn't you break up with him?" "Because he did so many things I wasn't able to say anything!" "Let's tell him." "I'm not afraid of him." "So why don't you talk to him?" "I can't." " He saved my Iife." " Yes, you can." "Of course you can." "We'II find a way, all right?" "There's a way for everything." "Now, come on..." "Come on..." "Do you believe in fate?" "No, not in fate." "I believe in coincidences." "I don't believe we're here for nothing." "Neither do I, but I won't bet on it." "I'd Iike to know why things aren't ever the way we choose them to be." "There must be a reason." "So tell me what it is." "Simple questions always have complicated answers." "Have you noticed?" " What's the matter?" " I went back to that palm reader." "Palm reader?" " Again?" " CamiIo, do not laugh at it." "Don't..." "Because she told me you are going to die." "You're going to die if we stay together." "I don't believe in those things." "Why are you Iike that, huh?" "Can't you see?" "This is a warning, CamiIo." "A warning!" "We will stay together... regardless any palm reader, any psychic or santeria, you get it?" "I am so scared to lose you forever." " What are you going to do?" " What the palm reader told me to." "I am going to marry ViIeIIa." "I told you..." "I don't want to be here anymore!" "What is it, Rita?" "I'm not feeling good." "What's the matter?" "It hurts here." "What a day!" "I'm exhausted." "This place looks like a flower shop." "Who's dead?" "What's that?" "I set up a date." "A date for what?" "For our wedding." "How about next week?" "And I bought a beautiful dress." "Too bad you can't see it." "You want to see it?" "Honey, I Iike you very much." "I Iove you." "We are going to stay together." "But remember that thing I told you about the hospital?" "well, it hasn't been decided yet." "Augusto ViIeIIa, do you or do you not want to marry me?" "What's the rush for?" "Look, I'm going back to my apartment." "When you finally decide what you want, call me, all right?" "Wait, Rita." "You've been very gutty, you know?" "Let me go!" "Can you go get some saline?" "Sure." "Here." "Juju?" " What happened?" " I don't know, doctor." " Has someone medicated her?" " Not that I know." "Why didn't you call me?" "Where's her records?" "Over there." ""YOUR LOVED ONE WILL BE VERY COOPERATIVE." "BALANCED AND HARMONIOUS MIND, WISDOM."" ""YOUR LOVED ONE WILL BE VERY COOPERATIVE." "BALANCED AND HARMONIOUS MIND, WISDOM."" "What's up, bro?" "How is it going?" "What's up, CamiIo?" "How is it going?" "I'd Iike to introduce you to my future wife." "Are you sure of what you're doing?" "Do you know him well?" "Hey, what's that talk now?" "She doesn't speak our language." "We communicate through some kind of language of love." "Right, hot one?" "Check it out." "You remember that red one?" "That girl's a witch, man." "I'm serious!" "I went to her house, and while we were having some fun... she looked me in the eye and said:" ""Boy, get your life straight." "Get your life straight"." "Check out what crossed my way: a Japanese girl." "Japanese girls have what?" "Straight hair!" "Come here!" "Hold on." "Say good-bye to my friend." "Come say good-bye to my friend." " That's right." " Give me a hug." " Hey, bro..." " Good luck." "That's enough." "Let her go." "Right." "Watch out." "This guy is a ladies man, you got it?" "She gets it." "She's terrible." "Hey, bro, Iet me tell you something." "I Iove you, man." "I'm serious, I Iove you." "If it worked out for me, it could work out for you too." "I hope you get that girl who left you drooling." "Don't feel so bad." "ViIeIIa!" "ViIeIIa, hey!" "What are you doing here, man?" "I could ask you the same thing." "I'm here to wait for Rita and apologize to her." "A toast!" "ViIeIIa?" "Wake up!" "Is this your car?" "This is our car." "Our car." "I Iove Rita, man!" "She's going to be mine." "That hospital is going to be mine." "What are you talking about, man?" "Rita, man..." "Stop the car, I have to throw up." "Take it easy, my man." "Take it easy, ViIeIIa." "Go ahead, put it all out." "One more..." "I am going to marry ViIeIIa." "Come on!" "Three!" "Feeling better?" "Let's go, then." "What a life!" "Here." "I needed that." "I found these pictures." " Those are my mom's." " Our parents, so young then." "It amazes me how we always end up like our parents." "Maybe that's why I'm like this." "I have no father." "Your parents were really happy." "You don't know what you're saying." "You, talking about happiness?" " Take a look at our lives." " May I confess something, man?" "I am a loser." "I don't even think I'II be able to get married." "When you were lying there, between life and death... what went through your mind?" "We... we are going to... have sex... have sex." "I just wanted to live." "Until we die!" "That's all." "To live." "Rita?" "Rita, are you there?" "I called you at work, and they told me you were here." "Open the door so we can talk." "You'II feel better." "well, I'm leaving, then." "But, if you need me, call me." "We are friends, remember?" "I did something stupid." "Oh, no..." "I'm not okay, Toni." "I'm not okay at all." "You know, Rita..." "I also get very worried at times... but I think carefully before making decisions." "I plan everything, and then I feel more confident." "Do you understand?" "I broke up with CamiIo." "I went to see that palm reader again... and she said there are more things between the earth and the sky... that meets the eye." "She told me CamiIo is going to die." "Rita, that's Shakespeare." "There's nothing new about it." "One day, someone will say life sucks and that slashing your wrists... is the way to heaven." "Rita... turn around." "That's it." "Now, breathe, Rita." "You know what you need?" " Yes, a longer massage." " No." "You need to bring your ghosts outside!" "Toni, what's your sign?" "Scorpio." "With the ascending in Gemini." "It's so funny." "It does not match mine." "One of these is absynthe." "The other one is a magic potion that makes us meet the gods." " You mean, die?" " Who knows?" "You drink one, I'II drink the other." "I don't feel anything." "You chose the absynthe." "My God, Toni!" "Are you okay?" "tell me if you're all right!" "I am a goddess!" "I'm just joking, silly!" "Relax." "The naïve Rita I've met at the hospital is dead." "She was a lie." "Didn't your palm reader predict that?" "My God, the palm reader." "The palm reader..." "CamiIo!" "CamiIo!" "I'II give you your clothes back later, okay?" "Wash them, will you?" "No!" "No!" "You have to protect yourself!" " No!" "No!" " Calm down!" " He has to live!" " What are you talking about?" "Calm down, ViIeIIa!" "Rita, he's okay!" "He's okay!" "Stop it!" " What's going on here?" " Did you drink?" "You smell like pure alcohol!" " Are you two okay?" " Of course!" "You called her, right?" "Yes." "Come on." "Let's go home." "The usual." "What's the usual?" "Mix something with anything and pretend it's the usual." "Same thing for me, chief." "The usual." "This is the Iast one." "If it's for a woman, forget it." "They should come with a manual." "And when she shoots herself?" "That manual of yours..." "It says something about that?" "We were at a club." "I went to the men's room, and she left." "She drove off with someone and filled herself up with ecstasy." "They never had sex." "She simply shot herself, in the head." "You get it?" "Things happen and we don't even know why." "We would make love every day, man." "Everything was perfect." "I was... happy!" "Her shrink said that fate usually presents us with gifts." "Some deserve good gifts, others don't." "That's why I'm not waiting." "I'II give myself a gift." "That's right." "You want to know how?" "With the same gun she used." " No, not that!" " Isn't it just right?" " Calm down!" " So, have it written on my grave:" ""Juca Ribeiro de Albuquerque... gave up!"" " He gave up!" " Calm down!" " Take care of my check, bro!" " No way!" "I take care of my own, and it's not small!" "Leaving this world... is not only cowardice but also postponing your debt." "If I were you, I would pay my check and my wife's..." " ...in order to help her." " I'm not paying anything!" "Calm down, buddy!" "Calm down." "A coffee, please." "I'II pay for it." "You know, I never said those things to anyone." "Rita, look..." "Stay calm, relax..." "Listen..." "I'm going to work and I don't want you to do a thing." "Don't leave the apartment, okay?" "So, should we get down to business?" "Sure, of course we should." "Antônia!" "I'd Iike to introduce you, Armando, the new director of my clinic." "Agenor, thank you for your confidence." "Armando, the hospital will be in good hands." "This is Juliana's report." "She's better now, despite the extra dose of sleeping pills." "And, ViIeIIa..." "you're fired." "CamIIo, I've asked you to come here because..." "I have been thinking about your release." "Doctor, I don't even tell anyone I have to come here." "We have nothing else to talk about, all right?" "Maybe... but I have a surprise for you." "When I have some free time..." "I like to think about what I could do to help people." "My parents' maid attempted suicide three times." "On the fourth time, she succeeded." "I let her die right there, In front of me." "While watching life leaving her, a question intrigued me:" "was she really fulfilling her fate... or was it just a coincidence?" "After all, who's to decide about our lives?" "well, this Is my story." "Rita!" "What are you doing here?" "I just wanted to get married." "You're everything I want." "You're everything I want." "But I'm not strong, and neither are you." "My God, why is God doing this to us?" "I don't believe in God." "ViIeIIa, it's not his fault." "It was the palm reader." "You were going to be my best man." "I should've let you die!" "This is a warning." "Hasn't your dream revealed anything to you?" "It is a subconscious desire, that's all." " I can't believe this!" " Is this a joke?" "I went to see a palm reader, and I did something stupid." "Rita... think carefully before you do anything." "Can I give you a hug?" "We're friends now, aren't we?" "Of course you can." "Didn't your palm reader predict that?" " Antônia, you're sordid!" " You manipulated us the whole time!" "AII I did was help you!" "You could have avoided it all!" "Rita, I Iove you." "That's all I have to say." "You don't even love yourself!" "You remember last night... on my lounge?" "CamIIo, look at me." "Look at me and tell me she's lying." " You're not God, Antônia." " But I am a gift from fate." "I'm not the one who pulls the trigger." " No, Rita!" " Don't do that, Rita!" " Don't do that!" " I want the best for you!" "Stop that, Rita!" " You're healed!" " No!" " You are going to free yourself." " No, Rita, don't do that!" "It's all a matter of choice, remember?" "No!" "For a Iong time, I had asked myself who Antônia was." "We found out that she actually Induced her patients, Iike Karen... to suicide." "Some of them weren't strong, and they killed themselves." "I could think of her as a good, Intelligent and rich person... who, at some point, lost her way... made a mess out of everything and chose the wrong side." "In the end, she's just another victim, just Like all of us." "I still don't believe much In fate, despite all that's happened." "I know I've done wrong with Juju, and that'II haunt my conscience... until I absolve myself." "One day, I'II own the hospital, marry a beautiful girl... and I want to be a better person when that day comes." "AII this made me realize it's worth it to argue with whom you love... because we're able to forgive." "My father left, but the past Is lost In the past itself." "I forgive him, and I forgive myself... but now it's time to go... and look for a CamIIo who's lost inside of me." "I don't know and I don't care about the future." "After all... who's ready for it?" "Simple questions, complicated answers." "I cancelled my newspaper subscription... threw out my journals and my make-up... but I kept one lipstick, because I'm only human." "Some days, I think I wake up looking beautiful... the others, looking horrible." "But that's okay." "Maybe I'II go to a different palm reader, start a new therapy..." "It's not because of some crazy woman that I'II stop believing." "After all, you never know what may happen." "We cannot be afraid of Iife nor death." "After all, we'II never know If fate exists or If we make it happen." "That's why I Iove studying Psychology, Philosophy..." "Physics, Religion..." "To defy people to face their own weaknesses... help them to be better people and find happiness... inside themselves." "That's what I want: to help." "I never introduced myself." "My name is Vitória, and I'm very happy to be here." "I know you are going to help me." "Because there's no spiritual or moral salvation... if we can't help other people, don't you think?" "Yes, I do."
