A stranger offers a photographer two hundred dollars a roll for covert pictures of Íris, a striking young woman. Instead of keeping his distance he knocks on her door with a pretext and shoots her portrait properly. That same day his wife Lídia is sleeping with Duarte, her lecturer, whose wife Mara treats Íris in analysis. Hopping from one head to the next over twenty-four hours in Curitiba, the novel lets each figure emerge slowly, as a print does in the developer.
