"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? Starring Maisa."

—Official Netflix synopsis

When the adult Anita returns to her hometown for her sister’s wedding and a string of disasters unfold, she takes refuge in the room where she spent her adolescence. When she turns on her old computer, she logs onto a photoblog she made and then our main character is transported, as if by magic, back to her first day of high school. That’s right—a 30-year-old brain stuck in the body of a girl of 15. Now she’s going to try to fix the lives of everyone around her—among them, her best friend Henrique (Caio Cabral), a nerd who has a secret crush on Anita, played as an adult by Breno Ferreira. However, each change made to the past impacts everyone’s future, and not always for the better.

In the new season, 30-year-old Anita (Camila Queiroz) needs to go back to age 15 (Maisa) to try to fix the life of her sister, Luiza (Amanda Azevedo / Mariana Rios). However, Joel (Antonio Carrara / Gabriel Stauffer) has hacked her Floguinho account and has also become a time traveler. After a disastrous day of meddling in everyone’s lives, Anita returns to 2021 only to discover her perfect day in Paris with Henrique (Caio Cabral / Breno Ferreira) no longer happened. Everything is different. What now? Anita and Joel need to join forces and put everything back on track and fix the future. In the midst of all this, she still has to decide who she wants to stick with: the romantic Henrique, her partner Joel…or the improbable and irresistible Fabrício.
