Baby (Gloria Pires), a chain-smoking guitar teacher in her forties, craves a romantic relationship. When musician Max (Paulo Miklos) moves into the apartment next door, she sees the possibility of turning her lonely life around. Instead, she unexpectedly finds herself involved in a love triangle leading to a terrible jealous rage. A bad time to give up smoking! Love, sex, agony and death... Anna Muylaert’s Smoke Gets In Your Eyes balances the fine line between comedy and tragedy, taking its characters on a journey to and from the dark side. As in life, they end up bruised, but perhaps better human beings in the long run.

 

Sozinha no apartamento que herdou da mãe, Baby vive entre intrigas com as irmãs e as aulas de violão que dá para meia dúzia de alunos desinteressados. O cigarro é sua melhor companhia. Quando o músico Max se muda para o apartamento vizinho, ela vê sua chance de voltar à vida. Para fazer vingar o romance inesperado, enfrentará qualquer ameaça. Vai descobrir que o cigarro é o primeiro, mas não o maior de seus inimigos.
