Rio

Rute has always lived among absences: her wandering childhood, her fickle mother, her sister Dina, missing for ten years, and the person to whom she continues to write letters as if trying to keep a part of herself alive. Older than Dina ever was, she feels suspended between lives—in a marriage where she doesn't know how to behave, in a job that does not fulfill her, almost forgotten by herself.

The death of Jūle, the father she never knew, opens an unexpected path for her: a country house by the river, a place that calls her away from the city, from people. There she meets Matilde and Kristofs, who knew her father much better than she did, the man her mother had always described as useless. The image of her father transforms, and with it Rute herself, haunted by a past that does not abandon her, but hopeful about the life she may still be able to live.
