After fourteen years away from her homeland, Salomé is forced to return to Cape Verde to see her dying brother. During her stopover at Lisbon airport, Águeda a cleaning lady recognizes Salomé as Mila, her childhood friend. Águeda invites Salomé to leave the airport and spend the stopover at her home, with the women of her family. The neighbourhood transports her on a spiritual journey, whose destination unfurls a painful bond with her homeland.

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.
