In a very hot summer in the middle of Portugal, a girl is dealing with her recent nose operation, while her mother's lack of attention seems to give her more pain.

Magdalena is a small-town theatre actress, playing unrecognizable roles. She travels to a nearby village to take care of her father-in-law, who has suffered a stroke. Due to a swine fever outbreak, the village has been blocked. After a long thought, she decides to save the pig, even though, if caught, she will face a fine that she is unable to pay. On her journey to save the pig, Magdalena finds the empathy of people in unlikely places.
