Since 1980, German institutions have been sending teenagers to the south of Portugal as part of several experimental projects of social re-education. Katrin (Sylta Fee Wegmann) comes to Alentejo within this context. She does not establish a relationship with her environment, a situation heightened by the harshness of the landscape and the void of a socially barren region. Katrin, Julia (Alice Dwyer), and Pedro (Luís Guerra) form an enclave in a no-man's land-a physical and mental desert.
