Estrela d'Africa, a creole shanty town on the outskirts of Lisbon. A baby, just a few days old, is about to survive to several deaths. Tina, his young mother, takes him in her arms and turns the gas on. Rescued by his father, he sleeps in the streets, is fed by charity milk. He is almost sold two times, out of despair, out of love, for nothing at all. But Tina won't forget. Her neighborhood sisters set out for revenge.
