Será que vai atrasar?
Waiting for a delayed night flight to São Paulo at Fortaleza airport, Bruna and an older man, Seu Raimundo, make small talk about the heat and the rain that delayed the plane; he is going to visit relatives and his newborn granddaughter, she has a meeting the next afternoon. Formal announcements give the new departure time (23:40) and the gate.
