Giovana avoids Leo, still angry at him, and gets drunk with Gabriel, confessing that she feels he's replaced her in Leo's life and Leo wouldn't miss her if he went abroad, which Gabriel knew nothing about. The three friends go to a house party hosted by Karina. His father later addresses it privately with Leo, understanding Leo's interest, but still not comfortable with it. Leo finally confides his interest in going abroad to his parents and they outright disapprove. They wait for her the following day, but she refuses to acknowledge them. The project results in Gabriel replacing Giovana as Leo's guide home, and she gets angry when they walk home without her one day. Leo lies, saying his parents are traveling. The exchange agency calls Leo about an American agency that specializes in blind students, but they still need parents' approval. He begins to touch his genitals and it is implied he masturbates while smelling Gabriel's sweatshirt. Later that night, Leo smells the clothing and wears it while lying on his bed. On the way home, Gabriel realizes he left his sweatshirt at Leo's house and asks him to bring it the next day and Leo agrees. The boys sneak out one night to watch a lunar eclipse, which Gabriel tries to explain to Leo using the placement of rocks. However, Leo remarks that "impossible is riding a bike". While working on the project a few days later, Leo attempts to teach Gabriel Braille, which Gabriel thinks is impossible to learn due to its difficulty. Leo agrees anyway and the pair see a movie, with Gabriel whispering the action to Leo the entire time. The two go to lunch together, and Gabriel feels embarrassed for asking questions about Internet videos and going to the movies. A school project requires same-sex pairs, so Leo pairs up with Gabriel instead of Giovana. She is reluctant and visibly upset, but agrees. Leo and Gabriel hang out at Giovana's house, and when it's time to leave, Gabriel insists he take Leo back himself to make things easier for Giovana. Leo and Giovana go to an exchange agency to get more information, but the agent must go through their parents first, whom Leo hasn't told his plans to. Later on, Leo expresses his interest in studying abroad to Giovana as a way to leave his overbearing home life. He expresses his annoyance at their overprotective nature and how he doesn't want to be treated differently because of his disability. He arrives home much later than usual to his frazzled, worried parents. Leo eventually trips over them and falls, but quickly leaves, angry. One day, Leo walks home from school alone with a walking stick, and Fabio and his friends taunt Leo, making movements around his head which Leo can't see. Leo and Giovana become friendlier with Gabriel and he joins the pair on their walk home. Giovana expresses romantic interest in Gabriel rather quickly, but is appalled when Karina (Isabela Guasco), who has a promiscuous reputation, begins to pursue him. A new student named Gabriel (Fabio Audi) arrives and takes the empty seat behind Leo. When their professor instructs Fabio to move to the empty seat behind Leo, Fabio outright declines, arguing he will constantly have to assist Leo if he sits there. Leo and Giovana return to school after holiday and classmate Fabio (Pablo Carvalho) makes fun of Leo's loud typewriter. Leo insists he will be fine, and his mother agrees under certain terms. Leo arrives home and his mother expresses distress at Leo's sunburned skin and worry at the thought of leaving Leo home alone while she and his father are out. When the day ends, Giovana walks Leo home, his arm linked with hers, and she unlocks his door for him, something she regularly does for him despite her house being a block in the opposite direction. Leo is especially distressed because he wants his first kiss to be special, but doesn't believe anyone wants to kiss him. At the beginning of the film, he and his best friend, Giovana (Tess Amorim), are discussing how they have yet to kiss anyone. The story centers on Leonardo (Ghilherme Lobo), a blind high school student struggling with independence.
