Jonah is twenty years old and is infatuated with Branca, the daughter of his mother’s boss. On the eve of Carnival, an accident leads him to kidnapping her and hiding her inside the whale, a float of the neighborhood’s samba school. In this unusual captivity, they live an impossible love, while the siege closes down and he is forced to negotiate the kidnapping, helped grudgingly by Jander, his 13-year-old brother.
