Vera, a former political activist, receives restitution money from the Brazilian government because of the disappearance of her husband, a victim of political repression during the military dictatorship in the country (1964-1985). She is therefore able to afford the apartment of her dreams and frees herself from the suspension in which she lived in for decades, a period whilst she was not officially recognized as a widow. On the day she moves in, her husband comes back. Their meeting, filled with emotions, forces Vera to review her entire life.
