Socorro Nobre, the protagonist of the movie, is a woman who has been serving a lengthy prison sentence in Salvador, Bahia. Despite her difficult circumstances, she finds inspiration in an article about the life and work of Franz Krajcberg, a Polish artist who survived the Holocaust and found solace in the natural beauty of Brazil.
After reading the article, Socorro decides to write a letter to Franz, expressing her admiration for his resilience and the way he found a new lease on life in Brazil.
