Lafayette, Louisiana; here begins the portrait of Cesária Évora. On stage she sings nostalgic mornas and rythmical blues with her legendary indolence. It's the end of the second american tour of Cesária, and as always she conquers the audience with a detached irony.Afterwards, a stop over in New York to see some friends and also to an official but moving hommage in the town hall of New Bedford, Connecticut.Finally, the return to Mindelo, in Cape Verde, where Cesária guides us from bar to bar, looking for the places where she spent the greatest part of her life. Her musician friends join her, and she sings and dances..Among excerpts of performances and talks, the film depicts simultaneously the international star and the proud woman of strong personality, queen of her lost island in the middle of the ocean.
