The last moments of someone in a city that no longer accepts who we are. Lonely and irrelevant, the person says goodbye to loved ones and finds redemption and rebirth in the neverending night.

Amanda, an introverted 12 year-old swimming athlete, finds safety in her own world: underneath the water. Lacking attention from her parents, she spends most of the time at the swimming pool, training and trying to succeed in maybe the only thing she truly loves. Priscila, an amazing swimmer, becomes her opponent, not only in the pool also in life. A subtle power game begins.

The story of the "Ship of Freedom" (Nau da Liberdade), which began its work in May 2013. The group consists of patients, students, and workers who "navigate" the waters of mental health through theatrical practice, where learning, creation, care, production of subjectivity, autonomy, and citizenship are intertwined. They are explorers of their own destiny who, cast into the sea of madness, reinvent reality through art.
