    Vera, imprisoned at a military fortress during the dictatorship, 1969, gets to know a soldier, Armando, who, in the face of torture, decides to take messages from Vera to his family and establishes an affective relationship with D. Maria, Vera's mother. Despite the horrors of the time, the film works on this possibility of a dialog between two lonely and lost human beings, a high-middle-class lady and a young southerner of rural origin. Today, Vera, aged 70, is a professor at the university, and debate with her students about politics, forgiveness and Hannah Arendt.
