Lisbon, 1972.

Olga, 23, is on her last year of her Biology studies when she realises she no longer knows her true identity. The daughter of a caucasian father and a mixed-race mother she never met, she was raised by Adelaide, her stepmother, in a rather conservative, bourgeois context. When Alexandre, her father, returns to Lisbon after 20 years of a wealthy business career in Angola, Olga is faced with the secrets of her past. She must now break away from her family to find her freedom and her own true identity. Through the roles she plays on theatre, she soon understands that her own skin can become the stage for memories and emotions to fight one another.
