António and Jota return from the front with their friends, looking for an ancient Roman thermal bath. They joke with each other recounting past tactical glories. The baths have appeared after a long time spent under the water of a reservoir, and people of all ages curious about the discovery come to spend the day. But there is something mysterious about these thermal waters — as if the baths influence the mood of the men, giving them the courage to say things they have never told anyone.
