On February 22, 1998, the Palace II building collapsed unexpectedly, resulting in 8 deaths and nearly 200 families homeless. Considered one of the biggest disasters in the history of Brazilian civil engineering, to this day some of the culprits have yet to be punished for their neglect. The people involved in the accident still remember the crucial moments before, during and after the collapse.

Graça dreams of fire. When she wakes, she and her daughter, Duda, gather their few belongings and leave the apartment in the middle of the night. The building is occupied by homeless families. The fire breaks out on an uninhabited floor. Graça sets out with her daughter in search of a safe place to spend the night. The living and the dead follow in their footsteps.
