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.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, abstract journey. It feels like drifting through a dreamscape, where memory and reality blur. The film is a quiet, contemplative exploration of displacement and the search for self.
