Synopsis

On the verge of his eleventh birthday, Hugo goes with his mother on a road trip to an almost abandoned city at the sea coast of Rio Grande do Sul (South of Brazil), with the promise of meeting his father for the first time. While going through family and abandonment issues, the boy fills the paternal gap with fables he create to himself, wandering alone in immense sand dunes and watching the rare birds. Hugo stays at his family's beach house with Rafaella, his depressive mother; Gabriela, his pregnant aunt; Michele, his aunt's husband; and Elena, his mother's lonely friend. At the same time he learns about the different kind of tensions between his relatives, he finds in Ágatha, the adventurous neighbours' daughter, a refugee for his imagination. With Ágatha, his mission is to take care of the eggs they found on their backyard and avoid their abandonment, but neither of them really know how to do it. Between personal conflicts and anxious waiting, he discovers intimate secrets about his family.
