The story
Unhappy at work and in her personal life, Anita discovers a way to travel back to age 15. What will she change in her past?
What it’s like
Bright, bustling school corridors and a sharp contrast with the dull, fluorescent-lit grind of adult work give this Brazilian comedy-drama a playful, slightly bittersweet look, with the mood shifting between warm nostalgia and wry self-consciousness. The tone is light and funny without being glib, and the pacing is brisk, built around episodes that move from one awkward situation to the next. A woman unhappy with her job and love life returns to her teenage years, and the show treats that second chance with humour and real feeling about identity, friendship, and first attractions, including lesbian and transgender storylines handled with warmth. Intensity is low: the drama is emotional and social rather than violent, with no gore and little menace. It suits a relaxed evening with a friend, a comfort binge, or a lighter weekend watch, and it is for viewers who enjoy time-travel premises, coming-of-age stories, and comedies that take queer characters' lives seriously.
