The life of a Portuguese woman.

Seven childhood friends, in their mid twenties, honor their annual summer tradition by spending a week in a seaside town, forcing them to confront the memories of a complicated past.

In a small hill near the village of Gerês, called Penedo da Freira, lies a tombstone that appears to mark a site of passion between a Portuguese nun and a Spaniard soldier near the end of the 18th century. The legend described in the stone becomes a target of obsession for a young director as he plunges two actors into reliving its words.
