Vanessa is a single mother haunted by a trauma from her past. Her son, Caio, is a creative child who seems to be escaping from reality. One day, the boy meets the little captain of a boat in a bottle who needs to set sail again, but the journey from the heart of Minas Gerais to the sea can be dangerous.
