In a ruthless world, where there is no longer room for the ugly, the sad, the fat, the old, she is an ugly woman with no history or stories, marked by a strict upbringing imposed by a conservative and austere grandfather, timidly peeking at life's door without the courage to cross it. Until the day she casually finds, in a subway station, the photograph of a stranger that someone dropped.
A knowing and ironic look at a Lisbon made of streets, courtyards, neighborhoods and people who function as small villages lost within the Great City that aggressive dehumanization corrodes.
