Mocinha and Madalena are an elderly couple who have been together for 50 years. On what Mocinha believes to be her last night, they welcome Luis and Zé Ronaldo, a couple of lifelong friends, for a dinner. Between memories of their love stories and the decisions that need to be made in the present, the deep bonds that unite the four friends are reaffirmed. The farewell imagined by Mocinha then becomes a delicate ritual that celebrates the fullness of their lives.
