Lisbon on a November night in 1942. The city is the last refuge for those persecuted by the Nazi regime. Here in the harbor, which promises salvation, lies the Boa Esperança, the ship that will set sail towards freedom. The city is like a powder keg. It simmers with unrest and fear, teeming with spies and diplomats on secret missions, and desperate refugees from all over Europe. In this tense situation, the fates of very different people intersect. And the deeper the night goes, the more they become entangled in political and erotic complications. When a bomb explodes on the Boa Esperança, events spiral out of control... A gripping portrayal of a dramatic moment in history - accompanied by the heartbeat of tango and fado.
