Upon reading the first chapter, the director immediately recognized the book’s potential for a cinema adaptation. The work presents intimate and personal accounts of adolescents who found in prostitution a way to survive. While the book narrates the lives of six girls, the script of Stolen Dreams portrays three characters. The protagonists of the feature film – Jessica, Sabrina and Daiane – live in a low-income community in Rio de Janeiro. Their daily lives are similar to those of many young women in other regions of Brazil, where dysfunctional families, early pregnancy, domestic violence, lack of education and the banalization of life are common factors.
