Every day, at sunrise, the Sítio Porto Alegre School students arrive by boat for another school day. As Professor Rui seeks to catch the attention of the 3rd grade children, new principal Leidi and school boatman Raimundo try to solve the lack of fuel problem caused by the little money sent by the government. These are rainy days in Curralinho township, on Marajó Island, where a school community resists.

Vera is a religious woman who takes care of a vessel in the port of Manaus. She needs to deal with Sister Josi with whom she disagrees about how to handle the boat and how to live life.
