A film by Patricia Bateira

with Tânia Carvalho, Sofia Gonçalves, José Luís de Matos, Miguel Moreira, Duarte B. Ruas

Two women perform the last request of a priest, whose final wish is to be buried the easiest possible way. But nothing turns out to be simple. The greatest loss in life is not death but love dying inside us while we live.
