A meditative, visually poetic journey about displacement and identity, where a nurse's act of care becomes a descent into existential uncertainty and dreamlike abstraction.

The film tells a story of Mariana, a nurse who leaves Lisbon to accompany an immigrant worker in a comatose sleep on his trip home to Cape Verde. The devoted Portuguese nurse took a journey only to find herself lost in abstract drama.
