Carta a Uma Jovem Escritora is a reflection on memory and forgetting, presented through five striking portraits of five Portuguese women writers: Olga Gonçalves, Graça Pina de Morais, Maria Cecília Correia, Alice Sampaio, and Maria Amélia Neto.

Between 1947 and 1949, the writer Maria Lamas traveled the country to publicize the reality in which Portuguese women lived. The result of this tour was the book "As Mulheres do Meu País". More than 70 years later, director Marta Pessoa and writer Susana Moreira Marques seek to understand what this book is and what it can tell us today.
