A bleak, melancholic portrait of masculine fragility and self-destruction in rural Brazil, where emotional abandonment breeds cycles of violence.

In the backlands of Goiás, Brazil, brutish men who cannot deal with their weaknesses are constantly abandoned by the women they love. Sad and bitter, these men turn violently against each other.
