In the time of the "cangaceiros" in the badlands of the Northeast of Brazil, the cruel Captain Galdino Ferreira and his band abduct the schoolteacher Olívia, expecting to receive a ransom for her. However, one of his men, Teodoro, falls in love and flees with her through the arid backcountry chased by the brigands.

VIBE

A sweeping, operatic Western that feels as vast and unforgiving as its landscape. It's a tale of doomed romance and desperate survival, where grand gestures meet brutal reality under an unforgiving sun.
