This is a day in Eddy’s life.

Overcome by a suffocating sense of helplessness, Rui seeks out the help of a therapist to discuss the current bi-polarized status of the world and himself.

It is a hot summer in August 2016. In this ephemeral sea of unforeseen events, passions, changes, voids, escapes and deceits, Rodrigo – between his personal discoveries and uncertainties about the future – is surprised by the outbreak of a set of fires in Madeira Island. What will happen to him if the wind shifts?

In that house, broken glass can be found in a once perfect picture frame. Pedro drags in his chest a necklace given by his long absent father. Forced to wear a mask every day, led by his insecurities and forbided to express his emotions, he finds his so much needed stability in Gonçalo. The movie then takes on a metamorphosis in this character: the innocence fades, the love is lost and the anguish and pain take control.
