Music video for the second single from the album "Sandy & Junior" (2006). The music video was inspired by the film "Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe" (1999), by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. It is different from the traditional format, as it presents a long narrative, in which the music appears more as a complement to the story told in the video. It was shot on 16mm cameras and became a short film.
