Catarina walks through the sand of memory.

Her mother’s distance, her father’s absence, and the traumas provoked by her stepfather form an ocean inside the girl Muriel, who is afraid of swimming.

Thomas, a young and disturbed man, has been unable to sleep for 4 nights in a row. That's when he decided to go to his mother's house, also his childhood home, in the hope of getting a good night's sleep. However, the path there is not necessarily easy, as he is constantly haunted by his mistakes and insecurities.
