This is the story of a people who achieved democracy through unity and with flowers.
It is the story of a love at the crossroads of a dream and reality.
It is the story of a life, set against the backdrop of history, brought to life by a text of great poetic beauty.
When her grandson asks her about her life, Céleste vividly relives the memories of her youth—silenced by the Salazar dictatorship—of her clandestine arrival in France, her love story with Zé, her brother Chico, the resistance, the “clamps that jam the cannons,” her regained freedom, and a life that lacked everything… but never love.
She recounts this epic life and delicately passes the torch of hope, love, poetry, and nobility of spirit to a future generation that has forgottenhow to love one another.
