Brazilian badlands, April 1910. Tonho is ordered by his father to avenge the death of his older brother.

He is torn between fulfilling his ancestral duty and rebelling against it, urged by his younger brother Pacu. That's when a tiny travelling circus passes through the vast badlands where Tonho's family lives.
