After a long wait, Vitalina finally got a ticket from Cape Verde, Africa to Lisbon. However, what greeted her was not the bright future promised by her husband, but the sorrow of being separated from him forever, and the foggy affairs after his death. The last time they met was many years ago, and there was no news in the meantime. Rumor has it that her husband was involved in a dirty and shady interest dispute, but no one knows what happened to him. The sad Vitalina lived as a widow in the narrow cottage where her husband lived, wandering alone in the alleys at night, following the faint clues, and getting through the painful and lonely nights in her dreams, exploring the redemption behind the dark shadows.
