Plot

Thiago lives with his family on an isolated farm in the arid backlands of Minas Gerais, Brazil. As the story unfolds and Thiago is forced to confront separations and betrayal within the home, Thiago begins, little by little, to see and understand a place that he had never been able to before, thus slowly letting go of his innocence.

Sinekatalog’s take

Seen through a boy's eyes, this Brazilian drama of an isolated backlands farm is about small cruelties and slow awakening. Sandra Kogut keeps the camera close and the pace unhurried, so the child's confusion becomes ours. A sensitive, sun-baked coming-of-age piece for arthouse audiences.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
