Born in Brazil but living abroad for ten years, Agnes is an architect who moved to Budapest recently. Her Tuesday morning starts with multiple audios from her sister Adriana, which would not be unusual if it wasn't for the news they bring: their father had a car accident, he is in the hospital having critical spine surgery. Agnes becomes indecisive on what to do and anxious to receive more information from the sister, with whom she is close, despite the long distance. Her day turns into a series of unusual encounters and conversations that make the young woman reflect on her father-daughter relationship and ponder on the pressing question: is it really time to go home? Agnes opens up to a colleague at work, meets a dork neighbour, tries to communicate with the cemetery caretaker and even receives wise words from a bartender she just met. It is only when Adriana finally picks up the phone that Agnes understands her priorities and the right thing to do.
