A young woman comes out of the surf as people and a dog cross the beach.
A woman in a white dress wades through a still lake at dusk, with a dark mountain ridge rising behind her across the water.

Between tourist beaches and Portugal’s rugged landscape, nineteen-year-old runaway Amanda falls in love with Linda, a fiercely independent pickpocket who lives in a converted van with her daughter Flora. Together, the three women travel along the coast, stealing from tourists and struggling to discover whether and how they can build a life together. A road movie about freedom, mother-daughter relationships and the desire to escape your own life.
