Vitor, muddling through life on the basis of various semi-legal dealings, lives together with his Russian wife Liza and their son Mauro in an improvised settlement on the Portuguese Atlantic Coast. When Vitor gets involved in a shady business involving counterfeit Portuguese passports, the house becomes a contact point for illegal migrants hoping to secure an existence in the European Union. With their marriage suffering from a combination of indifference and male vanity, Liza begins an affair with one of the illegal aliens, Andrei from the Ukraine.

Akin to a crossover between Fado and American Independents, AMÉRICA presents a study of life on the edge of society.
