In every corner of the street, a story is hidden. Madalena knows this better than anyone. A widow in her forties, she has decided to transform an old building in the center of Lisbon into a hotel, risking her savings and dreams.
As the work progresses, Madalena accidentally discovers an old notebook signed by Maria Barreiros. The pages reveal the journey of this young peasant girl, who arrived in a transforming Lisbon in 1907 to work as a governess for a family of prominent bourgeois. There, she found herself in the midst of great upheavals in Portuguese society, as centuries-old traditions clashed with the emergence of a new era.
As she delves deeper into the reading, Madalena discovers that the governess's story may also shed light on her own, the one she strives to build.
