A hybrid film docufiction and indirect autobiography by Paulo Rocha that blends personal memory, family history, and scenes from his cinematic work. The story opens with the youth of a rural man (based on Rocha's own father) in the 1920s, who sees his father die and later decides to leave his small village for Brazil in search of a broader life.
