PRESS RELEASE
Thiago is the eldest of five children. His family farm is located in the remote region of Minas Gerais and he lives with his beloved mother and a violent father, and wonders why his uncle has been thrown off the farm. Together with his best friend and younger brother, Felipe, he struggles to understand the goings-on of grown-ups. The boys are obsessed with the idea of sin and repentance and find their father’s behavior in stark contrast with their grandmother’s teachings.
