Just when her family starts believing that she is dead, and that they can expect a rich heritage, Tieta returns from São Paulo to her native village in Bahia, which she had been forced to leave long ago because of some involvement with a goat herd. Believed to be fabulously rich - and nobody knows how - she brings to the great disappointment of her family a young step-daughter and heir. With the arrival of Tieta turmoil enters into the life of her family and their fellow villagers. Most particularly into the life of her nephew - promised to the Church - and the young aspiring mayor.

A riotous, sun-drenched romp through a Brazilian village. Expect outrageous characters, sharp social satire, and a healthy dose of scandalous fun. It's a vibrant, boisterous celebration of life's pleasures and hypocrisies.
