A gently ironic character study of two displaced men finding unexpected companionship amid the backdrop of global conflict and personal hardship.

1942, in the middle of Northeastern Brazil, two very different men meet along the road: Johan, an aspirin salesman avoiding the German draft, and Ranulpho, a rural Brazilian seeking escape from the drought.
