Two ten-year-old girls meet in a hospital and boredom is replaced by companionship. Glória is recovering from a heart transplant, while Sofia is anxious about her great-grandmother’s decline. Together, they explore the hospital’s corridors, their shared frustrations giving way to trust and tenderness Camelo’s debut is a delicate portrait of friendship and the emotional worlds children quietly inhabit.
