Los mejores amigos de São Paulo Julia, Micaela y Diego entran en la treintena completamente desprevenidos por las consideraciones de madurez adulta. Julia ha elegido permanecer ciega a las señales obvias de que su novio actual es un canalla de dos tiempos, pero sus ojos se ven totalmente abiertos cuando descubre que está embarazada de su hijo. Diego es un chico de fiesta con problemas con papá que no puede permanecer fiel a su dulce y confiable novio. Micaela, mientras tanto, está perdiendo el tiempo persiguiendo a una actriz bisexual que ni siquiera reconocerá su intimidad compartida en privado. A medida que estos tres carismáticos pero problemáticos amigos siguen haciendo girar sus ruedas, incluso sus propios lazos familiares elegidos son sometidos a pruebas de resistencia hasta el punto de ruptura.
