After 15 years of living abroad, Amanda returns home with her French boyfriend Martin. They arrive at her family’s big farm, located in a secluded village on the endless plains of southern Brazil. There, Amanda finds her father in a coma and increasing tension among the farmworkers. The sole doctor in the nearby village is Helô, a young woman who resigns herself to caring for the local people. The imminent death of the landowner will place Amanda, Martin and Helô in the heart of a disturbing understanding between the village and the landowners.
