A young man and his grandmother, both descendants of Armenian refugees in Brazil from the genocide perpetrated by the Turkish government, live together in an apartment on Copacabana beach decorated by the increasingly distant memories of their ancestors. They then decide that one of them must embark to Europe to retrace their family's history.
