SYNOPSIS
Maria has been sentenced to Anger Management therapy. She risks destroying her family if sentenced to prison, and an intervention is needed. Ana, her youngest daughter, decides to hijack the therapy session, bringing her shutdown dad, Paulo, along. She hopes that being forced to stay in the same room for an hour will trigger a long-overdue conversation. They all carry a secret that Mrs. Silva attempts to hide behind her knitting projects, while Mr. Silva buries himself in work - they ignore both their pain and their daughter's pain. Will the therapist help Ana wake her dad up and break her mom's façade before it's too late? Can they ever go back to being a family? Or should Ana accept her fate in foster care?
