Some believe that the term "Saudade" originated during the Portuguese Age of Discovery. It reflects the sorrow of those embarking on perilous voyages, often resulting in shipwrecks or loss in combat. Families, especially women and children, endured great hardship in their absence.
Others simply think it means 'The Love That Remains.'

After years lost in the shadows of marriage, Marta Bingham finds herself a widow, grappling with feelings of insignificance amid her family's complicated dynamics. With her children grown and her job offering little fulfilment, she struggles with sadness and hopelessness.

There, she discovers a trove of unmailed letters to her late father, revealing shared struggles and buried emotions. Each letter guides her on a journey into her father's past—and her own—sparking a flicker of hope as she reconnects with her family's history. Will the sun-drenched landscapes of Portugal help Marta reclaim her place in the world and rewrite her story?
