Mario is a private detective going through a mid-life crisis. When he finds out that he has a 17-year-old son from an extramarital relationship, his life changes drastically. Trying desperately to find something to help him connect with his son, he discovers that the boy is a chess prodigy and decides to encourage his career, excited about the possibility of being part of something important for the first time in the boy's life.
"In 'Jupiter', Rafael Vitti ('Rock Story') brings to life the titular character of the film in his feature film debut. In the story, Vitti is a chess player who, after losing his mother, goes to live with Mário (Orã Figueiredo), his father - whom he had never met - and who is a private detective specializing in uncovering adultery cases. The rediscovered son, however, is precisely the result of an extramarital relationship, which shakes Mário's 25-year relationship. Thus, 'Jupiter' brings good reflections on family and also shows the competitive side of chess as a sport. It is a delicate film about relationships, in general, be it within the family, in friendships or in romantic interests. Director Marco Abujamra does a great job in his first fictional feature film."
