After awakening from a recurring nightmare, Luanda, a Black woman and single mother, finds her day pierced by painful memories that insist on resurfacing. A seemingly simple, intimate unease draws her back into recollections of a past shaped by poverty and sorrow. As she confronts these ghosts, Luanda revisits the experiences that forged her path and reveal the strength of the woman she has become.

In this documentary-essay, we deeply follow the fears and traumas of Thereza, Bebel and Enrico.

A young woman from São Paulo finds herself in the throes of a personal crisis, physically and mentally drained. The relentless double burden of her day job and artistic pursuits has turned her once-cherished dream of becoming a recognised artist into a waking nightmare – one that compels her to question her worth, identity, and very sanity.
