Like many people who had to endure the harsh times of the last decades, Dora is a survivor. She has lost sight of most ethical and moral principles and makes ends meet with the help of unorthodox methods.

Josué has also been hardened by his own, although short, history. He represents the second generation of migrants that believed in the official promises of a future in the south. He desires now to find the home and family he has never seen, inverting the exodus’ axis and, thus, redefining his own story. Most of all, he desires to meet his father for the first time. And, in Portuguese, father – "pai"- and country – "país" are almost the same word.
