Synopsis

It is the summer holidays and ten-year-old Gloria accompanies her mother Antônia, a nurse, to her work in a hospital. Gloria is already familiar with the place and often explores it alone. One day, she meets Sofia, also ten, who is there because of her grandmother: Bisa Francisca, a spiritual healer suffering from Alzheimer’s, is in the hospital following an accident at home. Sofia and her mother Simone disagree about what to do next with Bisa. Simone insists that she should stay in the hospital for now; Sofia longs to return her grandmother to the family’s home in the countryside. While Gloria and Sofia dream of leaving the hospital, their mothers – both single parents – form a bond of trust and mutual support. The cycle of death and rebirth has deep meaning for Gloria, Sofia, Antônia and Simone. When Bisa’s departure is imminent, Antônia takes charge of her palliative care. In the countryside, they find a community waiting for Bisa, ready to pray for wandering souls so they can move on.
