DESCRIPTION

Aquarius is a two-story building located at Recife seaside, constructed in the 1940s for middle-class tenants. Currently the only one still living there is Clara, a retired music critic, and a woman of subtle beauty, elegance, and rare charm. The remaining apartments at Aquarius have been purchased by an aggressive real estate developer who plans to convert the stylish building into a modern apartment block. Clara refuses to sell the house that is still full of memories for her.  The businessmen, however, have no intention to abandon their plans.
