The arrival of a new student at school changes Leonardo's life. The 15-year-old blind teenager feels jealousy from his best friend, Giovana, as he realizes his feelings towards his new boyfriend, Gabriel. Leo is brought home by Giovana every day. Gabriel accompanies them as he lives in the same direction as Leo. Gabriel is tutoring Leo in math, and Leo is teaching Gabriel some Braille . After Leo tells Giovana that he has fallen in love with Gabriel, she initially reacts disappointed and evasive. However, she promises to stop by Leo's after her grandmother's birthday party. Leo goes home alone and when someone enters his room, he thinks the person is Giovana. He pours out his heart to the person and does not know that in truth Gabriel is standing before him. When Leo mentions that he has fallen in love with Gabriel, Gabriel kisses him lightly on the mouth. He leaves Leo's room without revealing his identity. Giovana comes to see Leo later and apologizes for not making it earlier. Excited, Leo searches his room for Gabriel's sweater, which he had left with him the day before. After Giovana confirms that Gabriel's sweater is no longer in his room, Leo knows that it was Gabriel who kissed him and smiles.
