Luísa, 23, begins to question her boyfriend Rui’s sexuality after discovering a condom wrapper and noticing his odd behavior. Kyle, 25, returns to Portugal and reconnects with Pedro, who comes out as non-binary. Júlia, 23, gains the courage to tell her girlfriend Rosa, 21, that she has begun her gender transition. Margarida, 19, meets Inês at the party and starts to question her relationship with her boyfriend Afonso, 21, ultimately coming out as bisexual. Vicente, 20, is diagnosed with HIV and, with Inês’s support, goes through the five stages of grief over the course of the night. Through intimate moments and quiet revelations, each character confronts identity, love, and acceptance.
