Sin preproducción, personajes ni locaciones, un equipo de cine llega al desierto de Paraíba en busca de personas que tengan historias que contar. En el municipio de São João do Rio do Peixe descubren Araçás, una comunidad rural donde viven 86 familias, la mayoría unidas por lazos filiales. Gracias a la mediación de una joven del lugar, los moradores cuentan su vida.
A film starting from naught. With no prior research, no characters, no sites, nor specific themes, a film team arrive to the hinterland of Paraíba state in northeastern Brazil in search of people with stories to tell. In the village of São João do Rio do Peixe they come to Sítio Araçás, a rural community of 86 families, mostly relatives. With a girl from Araçás as mediator, the residents, in their majority, elderly, tell their life story, marked by popular catholicism, by a hierarchy, by a sense of family and honor - in a world fast disappearing.
