Baixo Paraíso é mais um entre tantos paraísos tortos e perdidos pelo interior de Goiás. É nessa cidade, seca, poeirenta e rodeada por cachoeiras que atraem turistas de mochila e sandálias de couro, que Marilia e Gabriela se encontram. As duas crescem juntas, entre cavalos, sorvetes, asfalto esburacado e um tanto de comida. Em plena adolescencia, Marilia se empanturra para disfarçar o desejo de engolir o mundo e ter Gabriela, esse corpo magro e bonito que, apenas a sos, parece corresponder. Para reduzir a fome e tentar diminuir o proprio corpo, Marilia começa a tomar remedios tarja preta receitados pelo padrasto de Gabriela a um preço inconfessavel. Enquanto o mundo fora aplaude suas transformaçes, Marilia no consegue mais se entender dentro de seu proprio corpo. Mas e com esse corpo que ela se envolve numa historia de amor pautada pela crueldade das intermitencias, dos segredos e dos impiedosos ponteiros da balança. Alguns paraisos so maiores que outros.
