Three sailors land in the Santos port after four months at sea and head to São Paulo. (1) "A Carta de Érico" ("The Letter from Érico") The first sailor brings a letter from a man named Érico that he had stumbled upon in an alley in Porto Alegre. He arrives at the address in São Paulo and knocks on the door but nobody answers. Meanwhile in the apartment, the depressed Ms. Cibele Marcondes is ready to commit suicide. When she opens the envelope, there is only a blank piece of paper.
