6-year-old Cloé lives in Paris with her single father and loves her nanny Gloria dearly. When she suddenly has to return to her native Cape Verde to look after her own children, she promises Cloé that they will see each other again soon. But Gloria cannot return to Paris. Cloé visits Gloria in Cape Verde over the summer with great longing and both decide to make the most of their last remaining time together.
