At 33, the Azorean researcher Malu starts in the Azorean community of Costa da Lagoa, in Florianópolis, her first field trip as an anthropologist. More than a significant step in her career, the trip also represents a chance to evolve in her personal life, marked by difficult relationships and loss. It’s with Dona Ritinha, the most famous local spiritual guide, that Malu starts learning about the mystical relation that the descendents of Azoreans maintain in the community. Involved in experiences that challenge the boundary between reason and imagination, Malu has to deal with her emotional conflicts and begins a trip towards self-knowledge.
