年輕的巴西女孩依蓮娜懷著與母親相同的夢想前往紐約，希望成為電影演員。她拋下軍事獨裁期間躲躲藏藏的童年陰影，離開了家鄉和當時7歲大的妹妹佩特拉。二十年後，佩特拉也成為演員，追尋著姊姊來到紐約。憑著僅有的家庭錄像、剪報、日記和些許信件為線索，佩特拉時時刻刻都盼望再見到姊姊美麗的身影。漸漸地，兩姊妹的形象混淆了，我們再也無法分辨兩者。然而當佩特拉終於在一個意料之外的地方找到依蓮娜時，她卻必須學會放下她……

She also leaves Petra, her seven-year-old sister. Two decades later, Petra also becomes an actress and goes to New York in search of Elena. She only has a few cues about her: home movies, newspaper, a diary and letters. When Petra finally finds Elena, she has to learn to let her go.
