Dopo 14 anni di assenza, Salomé è costretta a tornare a Capo Verde per salutare il fratello morente. Dalla Svizzera fa scalo all’aeroporto di Lisbona, dove Águeda, addetta alle pulizie, la riconosce come “Mila”, una vecchia amica d’infanzia. Águeda la invita a lasciare l’aeroporto e a trascorrere le poche ore di scalo a casa sua, con le donne della sua famiglia. Il quartiere capoverdiano trasporta Salomé in un viaggio spirituale, la cui destinazione fa emergere il doloroso legame con la sua terra natale.
