Paulina Chiziane in Mozambique, Elisa Lucinda in Brazil, and Raquel Lima in Portugal have their daily lives revealed and altered in the exchange of nine letters that cross the Atlantic and its colonial history. The film presents their desires, anxieties, and struggles to continue as writers in the diaspora, in a poetic narrative of sounds, spiritualities, and bodies. Their existence challenges racism, sexism, and xenophobia, aiming at the future of the Portuguese language and its speakers.
