Sinossi

Elsie Boone and her older brothers killed a man. No matter how hard Elsie tries to convince herself that it was an accident, guilt was ingrained in her life, leaving that man dead on a deserted road wasn't the most Christian attitude I'd ever had in her life. Two years have passed since the accident and if it weren't for Elsie's constant nightmares none of the three brothers would still talk about it. But now everything was different. When the Boone brothers decide to spend their winter vacation at their grandmother's house, in the countryside, all they could hope for was some time to rest, but their plans go awry when one afternoon Elsie is reunited with the boy who, supposedly, she and his brothers had killed. Nicholas Becker wanted revenge. "- I demand revenge, Elsie, you destroyed my life when you left me on that road. If today I'm a monster that goes around sucking other people's blood to survive, there's only one culprit: you. - Nicholas came close enough that I could clearly see his moss green eyes turning black. "You have no idea how sorry I am for that night, Nicholas. But I won't let you hurt my family," I growled in answer. - It's not your family that interests me, dear. I hope you enjoy immortality." "I was kissing him. Kissing the man who killed me and turned my life into the hell it is today. I always knew he would never develop a feeling for me, no matter how tiny, but Nicholas Becker was a hot man and I could never resist green eyes."

Clara dá aulas de português para estrangeiros e faz magia desde pequena. Joana só sabe da primeira parte. Até aparecer para um café dizendo que visitou a escola onde a amiga trabalha, numa cidade que não aparece no mapa.

Os percursos levam a uma biblioteca fechada, documentos alterados e moradores que não querem ver suas casas transformadas em cenário de exercício.

A photography student opens a metal box forgotten at the back of his grandfather's closet. Inside: old negatives, notebooks his grandfather never let anyone read, a sheet music dedicated to someone no one in the family knows, and a little red beanie that, after thirteen years stored away, is still warm. The grandfather can no longer travel. The answers stayed in the North, in a village that may not even exist anymore. So the grandson goes in his place, in the middle of the Círio de Nazaré, with a camera, a best friend who refuses to stay home, and the feeling that some photos hold more than they show. Twelve photos. Eleven empty places. And what was left out of the frame.

Between supernatural horror, everyday absurdity, and the melancholy of small absences, the tale investigates what we have learned to ignore, especially when its warnings blend with the usual noises of life.
