SYNOPSIS
Late summer 1982. The holidays are coming to an end. Rui is only interested in music and exploring imaginary worlds which he is forever sketching. Helena, his mother, incapable of crossing the divide that separates her from her son, does not know how to fill the void in her life. Only Joana can wrench Rui out of his isolation.
