This animated documentary takes us on a bittersweet journey into the lives of immigrants in the municipality of Odemira, Portugal. They share the experience of struggles, frustrations, and hopes as they try to find their place. Who is a local and who is an outsider in a world where borders are increasingly questioned?

On a split screen two parallel and contrasting narratives unfold. The world of art and the realm of the everyday are integrally connected and yet hugely disparate. A pair of hands working relentlessly inside a home fade away; while a painting hanging quietly in a museum gains fame.
