A woman, distressed by waiting, isolates herself at home. On the other side, a man tries to reassure her over the phone, but only the emptiness of morning television programs and her obsession with a film distract her. The news finally arrives. Part of the "Diagnosis" project: four short films by four directors with the same premise—illness. Filmed and edited in 24 hours.

This fictional documentary traces a poetic cartography based on the journey of a theater group to São Miguel, Natália Correia's birthplace, and Lisbon, where she lived most of her life. It passes through Botequim, Assembleia da República, Hotel Britânia, Teatro Micaelense, Parque Terra Nostra, and so many other places once inhabited by Natália and now by these actors who help us to unearth the myths, ghosts, and pains born in the life and work of Natália — one of the most important figures in Portuguese culture, literature, and politics, before and after April 25.
