Vera, imprisoned in a military fortress during the dictatorship, in 1969, meets the soldier Armando, who, facing torture, decides to take a message to the detainee`s family. Thus, he establishes an affective relationship with Maria, Vera`s mother. Despite the horrors of the time, we follow the possibility of a dialogue between two lonely and lost people, a middle-class lady and a young man of rural origin who came from the south to serve in the Army. Today, Vera, at 70, is a university professor who debates with students about politics, forgiveness, and Hannah Arendt.
