1986 â ThomÃ¡s is born with his eyes closed, and he does not open them for several weeks following the birth. Julieta, his mother, is unconcerned, believing that when ThomÃ¡s is ready and wants to open his eyes, he will. These events instill a strong belief in free will in young ThomÃ¡s. One day, seemingly out of nowhere, ThomÃ¡s opens his eyes, apparently to look directly at his five-year-old half-brother Francisco.
1992 â Julieta is a wife and a loving mother, working in a hospital emergency department. Her free-spirited youngest son, ThomÃ¡s, is the product of her marriage to her second husband Alexandre. Pedro, her first husband and father of her eldest son Francisco, lives in Argentina. Pedro and Julieta remain good friends. During childhood, Francisco and ThomÃ¡s are very close, perhaps too close according to Pedro, with whom they spend a Christmas holiday in Buenos Aires.
2008 â Years later, when Francisco is 27 and ThomÃ¡s 22, Julieta dies. The brothers become lovers and an unusual love story ensues.
Who is Thom's brother?
