An adaptation from a novel by the late Clarice Lispector, Lóri (Simone Sploladore) is a lonely and melancholy woman who divides her time between her tasks as an elementary school teacher and her romantic relationships, which are always quick and superficial. By chance, she meets the Argentine Ulysses (Javier Drolas), a renowned professor of philosophy, somewhat self-centered. And even as Ulysses seems elusive, it is with him that Lóri will learn to love and face her own loneliness.
