(OK) Nelson Pereira hace sentir el agotamiento del agua y la energía, en la primera parte, la violencia natural contra los animales (la muerte del loro), la civilización brilla en falso esplendor en la incursión en el pueblo con ropa incómoda y una noche en la prisión, y vuelve al ciclo de la supervivencia en el desierto de piel y arena

A poor family in the Northeast of Brazil (Fabiano, the father; Sinhá Vitória, the mother; their 2 children and a dog called Baleia) wander about the barren land searching for a better place to live, with food and work. But the drought and misery destroy their hopes.
