It is the first days of work for Luciana, Maia, and Yenifer as caregivers in a nursing home. As trans women, it is their first time holding formal employment; until now, they had only engaged in sex work. Over time, as they share their lives within those secluded hallways, caregivers and residents forge increasingly deep bonds. Gradually, this strange place also becomes a home for them.
