Two families on neighboring farms on the border between Brazil and Uruguay. Decades drive these people away. The physical proximity is separated by a fence and the set of prejudices, inexplicable hatred and lack of generosity. In the end of the year, between Christmas and New Year, the families gather on their respective farms. What nobody knows is that a love between two young people is about to break this barrier that is much bigger than the fence that divides the fields. The passion between Rodrigo and Juliana could be the point of recovery for a relationship marked by so many years of hatred, but, like Shakespeare's original story, the human being is much more complex and inexplicable. Whether in Verona, Italy, or on a border farm. Tragedy lives inside people and is sometimes impossible to control.
A story about the need for tolerance through a metaphor of life - a blind man can finally see but refuses to see the world around him. A story involving a love that disappears because of the lack of understanding one another. A friendship that goes beyond all the difficulties that arise along the way. Emotion through simple situations, recognizable people, that we can find in any city in the world. A blind pizzaiolo, of Italian descent, an Argentine, from a wealthy Jewish family and a friend, the waiter, who becomes the 'eyes of the pizzaiolo.' Within this familiar environment, the story told is about the lack of understanding that exists in our world today. This is not a typical Brazilian story or from a specific place, it is a story of our time about individualism, about respect for what the other desires.
