Synopsis
In an arid place with scarce resources, Larissa and Saulo live their routine and intimacy until one day Saulo jumps in the lake of a high rock and does not come back to the surface. At that moment, time falls apart and we dive into Larissa's anguish of losing her mate, combined to their moments together and moments when she lives alone. We are not sure if the moments when she is with him are new experiences in the future or memories and not even if the moments alone are the imagination of pain it would be to live without it or a real future.
