Set in the Brazilian badlands in 1910, this is the story of two feuding families, fueled by their personal honor and ethics. Tonho, the middle son of the Breves family is ordered by his father to avenge the death of his older brother. Tonho is the victim of a feud between two families that has been going on for generations. If Tonho follows his father’s orders, he knows that his life will be short, as the family will return the fatal favor. If he disobeys his father he will disgrace his whole family. The confused young man begins to question all of the absolutes that he has known all his life.
