Plot
A luxurious reception is interrupted when a body is found floating in the pool. One thing is certain: the murderer is among the high society guests. The businesswoman Angela Mahler is the party hostess celebrating her recent business success. She shares the spotlight with Duda, her “daughter at heart”, and the contractor Braga, her business partner and arch nemesis. The celebratory mood is threatened by the arrival of Bruno, an ambitious young man who became involved with Duda in order to gain access to confidential information from Angela’s and Braga’s companies—he knows he can use his power over her to achieve whatever he wants. The guests have their own issues to solve as well such as betrayals, secrets, and cunning moves. The event ends up bringing enemies together under the same roof, like a powder keg ready to explode.
