Synopsis
After six years without seeing each other (and three years since their last group chat on social media), friends Benê, Keyla, Tina, Lica and Ellen are reunited in the Greater São Paulo and realize that the affection and admiration they feel for each other has never been lost, even after so long apart. At the height of being 25-year-olds, they are all grappling with personal, professional and relationship conflicts. Together, they feel stronger to face the dilemmas of adult life common to Generation Z.
Cast and characters
Main
- as Cristina "Tina" Yamada:
Cool and sociable, Tina is now a successful DJ in São Paulo with her boyfriend Anderson . At the beginning of the series, the gang reunites at Tina's house for an unexpected funeral. Struggling with unresolved conflict and grief, she struggles with her mental health using unhealthy coping mechanisms.
- Gabriela Medvedovski as Keyla Maria Romano:
Keyla has been working a series of strange jobs to make money, raising her son Tonico (Matheus Dias) all by herself. She was forced to postpone her dreams to ensure her son's survival. The gang reuniting means she no longer has to parent him alone. With their newfound support, she tries to pursue a career as a musical actress.
- as Benedita "Benê" Teixeira Ramos:
Extremely methodical, Benê tries to remain calm, but she can't stand it when things get out of hand and get out of routine. She spent the last few years studying classical music. She lives with Guto, her boyfriend since school, until a twist separates them and she finds Nem .
- as Heloísa "Lica" Gutierrez:
Lica has been unable to focus on anything. She's already dropped out of three colleges, has several unfinished projects, and is unemployed at the start of the series. Though intelligent, charming, and confident, Lica's impulsiveness and arrogance gets her into messy situations. She has been completely lost since her relationship with Samantha ended.
- as Ellen Rodrigues:
Because she is so career-focused, Ellen lives a little disconnected from the world of personal relationships. She was an excellent student in high school and her time at MIT in Boston was no different. She finished her degree and completed a master's degree in the United States.
