Overview

A TV movie inspired by the work of renowned writer Luísa Costa Gomes. The story of Maria do Carmo, a successful woman in advertising and communications, with a carefully constructed life that crumbles when she is unexpectedly summoned to the Logical Surveillance Center. Without any explanation, Maria do Carmo finds herself trapped in an indefinite wait, confronted with others who have been there for years, with no clear reason and no visible way out. Her professional and personal responsibilities drive her to despair and protest, as she seeks to anticipate the solution to her problems, even if it forces her to go beyond all limits. But the system provides no answers and punishes those who demand them.
