Plot
Laurindo, a quiet citizen, divides his days between work and his wife, declaring himself happy in his three-year marriage. But in his spare time, Laurindo daydreams. And one single subject haunts his dreams: beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. One day, Laurindo receives a phone call from a childhood friend, then living in Paris and returning to Brazil on vacation. After the initial surprise, they arrange a meeting. During their conversation, Laurindo insists on forgetting his childhood to get detailed information from his friend about Parisian life, especially about the women of Paris. His friend doesn't hesitate: he recounts in detail his incredible adventures during Parisian nights with the fantastic women he met. The friend returns from Paris at the end of the vacation, but Laurindo cannot free himself from the images, and his desire to go to Paris to see "his women" up close becomes a true psychosis.
