On coming back to the imposing but decadent farmhouse he inherited, after an extenuous journey on horseback, Antonio finds out that his wife died in labor. Confined to this desolate and unproductive property in the company of his demented motherin-law and numerous slaves, he marries his dead wife’s young niece, a child of 12. A restless soul, he returns to his expeditions trading slaves and cattle, and leaves the child wife behind. The loneliness of the big house in the rugged landscape mirrors that of its inhabitants. Each one has been displaced from his original home and forced into co-existence. The undercurrents of violence and prejudice fuel the impending tragedy which, in turn, is an ambiguous announcement of the winds of change.

Forty years separate Maria Eugênia, a writer from Pernambuco, based in France, from the couple Miguel and Lucia who have just celebrated a union of four decades. The return of Maria Eugênia raises doubts and suspicions that have been kept for a long time. Miguel, a sociology professor and former political prisoner, wants to face the truth and Lucia, his life partner who has dedicated herself to getting him out of prison, wants to escape from it. It is from the point of view of these three central characters that we relive the political and social history of the Military Dictatorship years in Brazil. A story that changed the course of many lives.
