Film Introduction

The Central Station in Rio de Janeiro, where Dora writes letters for people, but she tears up and doesn't send any that she doesn't like, and even reads the contents of the letters openly for fun. The appearance of a young boy, Joshua, starts her on a journey to reconnect with life - Joshua is eager to see his father, whom he has never met from afar, and keeps writing to him. The boy's mother's unexpected car accident makes Dora decide to accompany Joshua on his journey to the Northeast to find his father. As Joshua searches for his father, Dora's heart, frozen by the past, slowly warms up.
