Lisbon, 1969. Marta, twenty-something, educated within the best traditional parameters of the Portuguese bourgeoisie decides to give a new direction to her life. She leaves her husband and launches herself in search of a more authentic and real life. The break-up is difficult and Marta feels a little lost. Marta starts working as a model for an advertising agency where she will meet all kinds of exploitation. When she meets Victor Lopes, a smuggler from Lisbon, who has lost everything and gained everything and to whom life no longer surprises, Marta finds a certain emotional and economic stability, but without ever finding what she wants. Through her unstable and fragile behaviour and her disturbed physiognomy, Marta allows us to cast a critical eye over the structures of the society that surrounds her.
