Gregório is a rustic and idealistic peasant who lives frustrated in the village of Rosillas. Arrogant and bold, he wants to recover the waters of the family's old dam, which were diverted by Colonel Igrejas, an Argentinean farmer who acts in collusion with the town's mayor to benefit the cultivation of his own vines. In the midst of all this, Gregório will have to face the contempt of the residents, the corruption and the socioeconomic power of the elite, leaving aside the love for his little son Olegário, the care for his elderly parents and the love of Paula, the teacher at the school who insists that he go live in the city. How does the one who stays on the land that everyone has decided to leave survives.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
