Orysia and Veronika flee Ukraine with the little girls and the women of their family, seeking refuge in Portugal, only to learn that exile doesn’t end a war. In a seemingly safe country, the war’s aftershocks seep into ordinary days, and peace struggles to take hold, however quiet the landscape seems to be.
