On a cold July morning Lucas comes back to Ribeirão da Ilha, the fishing village he left ten years earlier to study. At the fish shop he tells dona Iracema he quit his engineering job to start again by the sea; she sends him to his father, with whom he had fallen out. On the pier the father only asks if he has had coffee — and invites him home.
