The journalist Clara is invited by a friend to write the script of a movie. Then she meets Geraldo, an old gold prospector who loves the cinema. He tells her the story of a poet, living in Chapada dos Guimaraes, who waited for many years the return of his wife. Each day, he would wait by the edge of the road with a bunch of flowers and a poem. He never lost hope that she would, one day, return. He glued the poems to the walls of his house and spread the bouquets of flowers over the yard, all the while keeping alive a ritual of longing and of love.
