The house-wife Helena is about to open her first own business: she rents an old barn at São Paulo and opens a small market. To take care of her home and daughter, she hires Paula, a young woman who came from the countryside looking for work. Things change when Otávio, Helena’s husband, looses his job as a top executive and his wife becomes the sole responsibility for the rent. At the same time, Helena’s market goes through an increasing reform in order to fix a strange problem that seems to come from the plumbing behind the walls.
