Each morning Zeca struggles to wake in time for the long bus journey to the school that employs him as a librarian. As his fragile routine begins to slip, an unexpected encounter with a woman transforms his sense of time and the possibilities his life holds. Oliveira crafts a tender, deadpan portrait of work, routine and connection in contemporary Brazil.
