The film follows Teto, the spoiled heir to a tomato empire known as "O Rei do Tomate". The plot hinges on a classic "prince and pauper" identity swap:
: Teto meets Paula, an independent medical student, and lies about his wealthy background to win her heart based on his character rather than his money.
: He switches identities with his friend Igor, the son of a servant, leading to a series of comedic complications as he tries to prove his worth in a corporate internship he would normally have been handed.
