Two broke Brazilians inherit cursed dirt and start believing in magic. What could go wrong?
Roberto and Mitsuo return to Brazil on the same day, after a long season living abroad. Their lives intersect because of land negotiated by their parents in the past. Without money, the two see on the ground a possibility of getting financially right. However, some events make them believe the terrain is magical. Like a fable, the film shows us that in order to obtain some desires, it is necessary to give up others.
