Years after a family tragedy, Dora and her daughter Julia restart their everyday lives. The Folia de Reis clowns and musicians dance across the streets of a little seaside town in Rio de Janeiro. The holiday season and the heat are ideal for swimming in the green waters of the region. For Dora, going to the beach means reuniting with her son Lucas, whose ashes rest on the sea. An unexpected arrival shakes up this routine. It’s Jorge, Dora’s husband, who left the day after the fire that killed Lucas and didn’t come back. His return brings back the pain of loss, yet opens up the possibility of overcoming it.
