Synopsis

The visual artist Claudia Tavares collects in many bottles the excess of humidity from her studio in Rio de Janeiro to create a garden in Floresta, a village in the northeastern semi-arid region of Brazil with no rain for more than 5 years. We follow the journey of Claudia and her daughter Sofia arriving to this place where Sofia’s father live. The film is about the encounter of two realities, connected by water and affection.
