Nuno (Carlos Malvarez) is a young drug addict in coma. During two days he balances between life and death. Each one of his relatives pulls out a personal net of memories. His father, Álvaro (Rui Morisson), fanatic by tango music, refuses to accept reality, confusing an impersonator (Ruy de Carvalho) with his favourite tango singer: Carlos Gardel. A tangle of crossed shortcomings and unfulfilled desires, in which guilt is always latent, drive us trough the past till the present of Nuno and the whole family.
