Over the course of a single night, René goes through her vibrant but lonely life as a Brazilian immigrant in Lisbon. With each encounter, she faces a recurring dilemma about the future - to remain illegal in a city that becomes increasingly strange or to return to a home she once fled. As the night progresses, the external conflicts and their internal turmoil intertwine, revealing the complex emotions of belonging, displacement and the feeling of being torn between two worlds.
