Dinho is concerned with abandonment. His biological mother returns, promising she will stay, while his best friend is about to leave. Between child’s play and caring for a sick aunt, he finds some time to dream. Life has not been easy for them: they cling to the final moments of childhood, which seem to no longer belong to them.
Adrift and desperately needing money to pay for his ailing adoptive father's care, Ubaldo, a bank clerk who's unable to remember his childhood, receives an inheritance that will change his destiny for good. He goes to Cratará, in the heart of the northwest desert, where he'll become the leader of a pack of ruthless bandits, fulfilling the legacy of his biological father - a mythical cangaceiro.
