Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The picture retraces the professional, social and family life of Zeca, a cow-boy from the northeast of Brazil. From the most perfect calm he can fly into a state of the wildest excitement. From his lazy hammock he leaps into the hard saddle, which carries him at breakneck speed along tortuous paths in search of his cattle.
