Dos historias de migración entre la ciudad y el campo. Tras las devastadoras inundaciones de su pueblo natal, Joana, una trabajadora rural, se traslada a São Paulo en busca de su hermana Tania, que vive con su nieto Jaime. Joana lucha por prosperar en esta ciudad obrera. Al entrar en el mundo del empleo precario, solicita trabajo en una empresa de limpieza. Allí, Joana va estrechando lazos con sus compañeras, cuya lucha colectiva por unas mejores condiciones laborales da un nuevo sentido a su vida. Mientras tanto, su relación con el joven Jaime le trae recuerdos de su hijo desaparecido. En la segunda parte de la película, tras la muerte de su padre, del que está distanciada, Flavia se traslada a su granja con su esposa Mara. Las dos mujeres luchan por empezar de nuevo en la naturaleza. Viviendo en la casa abandonada, Flavia descubre aspectos desconocidos de la vida de su padre y se enfrenta a las duras realidades de la vida cotidiana rural. Flavia empieza a sospechar que hay algo en el bosque que rodea la casa: la naturaleza obliga a la pareja a enfrentarse a viejos fantasmas.

The film tells two tales of migration; one from country side to city and the other from city to country side. In the first tale: Rural worker Joana relocates to São Paulo in search of her sister Tania and her grandson Jaime, after her hometown is devastated by floods. In the bustling city, Joana grapples with the challenges of precarious employment. Joining a cleaning company, she forms connections with her colleagues who collectively strive for better working conditions. Simultaneously, her bond with young Jaime stirs memories of her missing son. In the second tale: Flavia and her wife Mara move to a farm after Flavia's estranged father’s death. In the wilderness, they struggle to start anew. As they inhabit the abandoned farmhouse, Flavia uncovers hidden facets of her father’s life. However, the harsh realities of rural existence shock the couple. Amidst the surrounding woods, Flavia begins to suspect something mysterious. Nature compels them to confront old memories and ghosts.
