Henrique is a typical boy. He is in college, works part-time at a gas station and has a girlfriend, but everything changes when his best friend hits his head in a freak accident and is hospitalized in a coma. After emergency surgery, there is not much to do for him, doctors say. It is then that he begins to write letters to his friend, as a conversation, reporting what goes on during his absence. Interspersed with short stories, the letters gain a new dimension: to what extent does he really know what happens around him? What do other people think?
